May 14th, 2012Sunday May 13th – Mother’s day lunch and special
April 30th, 2012Next Tapas Night Friday 27th April
April 18th, 2012Easter weekend special
March 18th, 2012Harvest at Rocky Passes 2012
March 18th, 2012Harvested just in time … Wednesday instead of Saturday!
The day was perfect and everything went smoothly with 8 pickers and 11 friends turning up at very short notice as we changed the day. We crushed the last grapes at 3pm and were cleaned up by 7ish … and as we set off for Seymour to have pizza and drop friends off, we could hear and see the start of a storm … a day earlier than predicted.
We are so lucky … . The must smells wonderful … I think it’ll be a winner.
We celebrated in style
Saturday night.
Vintage 2012
March 8th, 2012
The crop has survived over 200 mm of rain, humidity and wattle birds. Vitto has been on bird watch dawn to dusk every day for the last three weeks and his beard has turned white! Obliging eagles turn up from time to time and move the others off for a while. But it’s all worth it … we think that this will be a wonderful wine.
Adam Dennis celebrates the launch of his first solo album
October 28th, 2011In 1976 a man bought his son an acoustic guitar. At $95 it was more than he could really afford. In the ensuing 35 years, the boy would grow up writing songs on that guitar. Performing with it, seeking solace in it, laughing at parties as he strummed. To him, the Fender F-35 Dreadnought acoustic guitar came to be worth so much more than its original price.
Join Adam Dennis (clearly no longer a boy) as he celebrates the launch of his first solo album, dedicated to his lifelong relationship with one particular construction of timber and steel. Adam will play songs from his back catalogue, relate some anecdotes, and possibly introduce a couple of characters who feature in his musical story.
Aside from the free entertainment, you can order tapas from the menu (Adam highly recommends this!) and enjoy refreshments including Rocky Passes’ own celebrated Syrah.
The outdoor area adjacent to the cellar door offers a wonderful afternoon ambience, with plentiful parking, views to trees, rolling hills and the vineyard.
Whiteheads Creek is just outside Seymour, roughly an hour up the Hume Freeway, or accessible via Yarra Glen and Yea. The scenic drive itself is well worth the trip.
We would love to see you there.
Although the concert is free, we ask that you help us plan our seating and food by calling Rocky Passes 57969366 or email contact@rockypasses.com.au to RSVP. Thank you!
All about love
