Choose your own gastronomic adventure at Seppeltsfield Road Distillers

When you next wander in to Seppeltsfield Road Distillers, be tempted by their pantry –  selecting exactly what and how much you wish to eat.

With a mixture of local produce and a dash of international, there’s always something enticing, and we doubt you’ll stop at just one serving!

Open 7 days a week, your unique platter will make the perfect accompaniment as you enjoy sipping your way through their acclaimed gin range.

If you fancy an in-depth tasting and private distillery tour with a gin in hand, speak to the fun staff about ‘Getting to know you’, where you can be guided through the finer points of the gin making process.

Graze the globe with Two Hands Wines

The grazing platters available on weekdays at Two Hands Wines are beautifully crafted Jam Factory Platters. Designed to share, you will want to spend considerable time savouring each handpicked, exquisite element.

You will get lost in the complexity and variety of tastes on offer.

From the Isabella Comte PDO – a semi-hard French cows-milk cheese sourced from Burgundy in France – to the sheep’s milk Manchego, aged for over 12 months in La Mancha, Spain.

The Jamón ibérico provides the deeply intense flavours of free-range Iberian black pigs who graze freely on grass and acorns.

Then there are the famed Spanish anchovies from the Ortiz family, who have fished for five generations off the Spanish Basque coast.

Or local Torzi Matthews Olives and dried Muscatels, teamed with Barossa Bark- a locally made, hand-cut lavosh style crispbread that is so aptly named after the shards of bark that fold from the blue gums that dot the local landscape.
