$199.00 per person

11 Apr 2025 only
The Barossa Valley’s Finest at The Fireplace Hailing from the Old Garden Vineyard, one of the top 10 most famous vineyards in the world, Hewitson and The Fireplace invite you to join us for an unforgettable night of fine dining and award-winning wine. Contrary to what one might believe, the world’s oldest-producing vines are not in Europe, but Australia. Planted in 1853, the Old Garden vineyard is now owned by Dean Hewitson, winemaker and proprietor of Hewitson winery in South Australia. From 6:00pm on April 11th, join us on the Fountain Terrace for champagne and canapes before we take our seats in The Fireplace and enjoy an exquisite and carefully curated five course degustation menu, designed by Executive Chef Hamish Watt and Head Chef Randy Tablan with each dish masterfully paired with Hewitson wines. This exclusive event is priced at $199 per person, with reservations and prepayment required. Secure your seat for a truly unique evening of sophistication, flavour, and world-class wine. Dine With Dean Hewitson For an exclusive and intimate experience, guests have the rare opportunity to dine alongside renowned winemaker Dean Hewitson for the duration of the evening. Seated at his table, you’ll gain first-hand insight into the stories, passion, and craftsmanship behind Hewitson’s celebrated wines, all while indulging in a masterfully curated five-course degustation. With limited seats available, we encourage you to secure your place early. Please specify your preference to join Dean Hewitson’s table when making your reservation.

Everything was wonderful, from the ambiance to the service. However, the only downside was the portion size of the Valentine's special, which didn’t quite meet expectations.
