Discover Eastbrook: Wine, Cuisine and Craft

Wine, cuisine and creative craft reveal different sides of Eastbrook. When looking for a hotel, you can start by considering the themes that interest you during your stay: the history of individual vineyards, regional produce and tastings, or creative activities. The addresses and details below show how these highlights differ.

Vineyards and their history

The cellar door of Pemberley of Pemberton is located at 104 Ockwell Road in Eastbrook. Pemberley’s vineyard was established in 1994. The vineyard and farm are run as a fifth-generation family business. Pemberley of Pemberton produces cool-climate grapes and wines, as well as gourmet foods from the Southern Forests. Here, a specific winemaking history meets a range of product types.

Lost Lake Wines also represents winemaking in the area: its eight-hectare vineyard in the Eastbrook Valley is dry-farmed and was established in 1989. In comparison, it was established five years before the Pemberley vineyard. These two dates give winemaking in Eastbrook a tangible timeline without equating the businesses or their products.

Thella Estate takes a different approach to grape varieties: the winery produces Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Merlot from low-yielding plots with single-vineyard provenance. Alongside Pemberley’s cool-climate grapes and wines, this illustrates the range among the products mentioned. For wine enthusiasts, the history of a vineyard is not the only relevant consideration; the wines and production characteristics of each business also matter.

Regional cuisine and tastings

The restaurant at Hidden River Estate serves a modern European menu with Middle Eastern influences. It uses local and seasonal produce. At tastings, Hidden River Estate offers both its own wines and the cool-climate wines of Picardy. Cuisine and wine offer two distinct points of interest here: the menu brings together different culinary influences, while the tastings feature two wine offerings.

Hidden River Estate’s annual truffle dinner is another occasion you can take into account when planning. If you want to plan your trip around it, check the event date in advance. The dinner is an annual event, but you will still need to plan the specific dates of your stay.

Craft as another facet

The Crafty Barn in Eastbrook is a 300-square-metre rammed-earth workshop. Activities it is designed for include sewing, scrapbooking, art, crocheting and knitting. The range spans textile work, paper crafts, art and handicrafts. This focus clearly differs from winemaking and gastronomy, adding a creative dimension to the picture of Eastbrook.

Consider which of these aspects is most likely to shape your stay, then continue your search for hotels in Eastbrook using your own criteria.
