This is easily the most outlandish thing we’ve ever done. In 2022 we set out to break the shackles of our ordinary life to do something a little extraordinary. With the rose-coloured lens firmly in place, we saw a little rose lined vineyard, a country home, cabins and a cellar door perched on the side of Mount Anakie, backed by a nature reserve.

 

Except the vines and roses were hard to see, ghost trellises stood where unknown varieties once lived and the buildings were decked out in the top 10 of hues of the 80's. We had no bloody idea what we were doing and we did it anyway. 

​

Somewhat naively, we thought we like wine, good food, travel and gardening, so that should be enough to pull this off right! Our story is about having a go, pushing ourselves to the point of tummy flutters and being the driver of our own destiny. It's balanced by chasing happiness, feeding our soul, respecting nature, shenanigans and mishaps. This is our way of saying, the heart said yes, and we told the head to take a hike.

​

So, while there is no plan, we like it that way as the organic nature of what's next brings something magical. We bloody love this place and sharing it with you is just the best. The sweet simplicity of country life awaits. 

​

It's fair to say we are less photogenic and attention seeking than the star of the show, our much loved four-legged sassy friend, Mabel the boxer dog. She is a reminder of small joys, life’s simple pleasures and leading with your heart (or your nose). We are Mr and Mrs Rowe, and so darn happy to meet you.
