Want to get up close and personal with two of Australia's most famous farming families?
As a one-off on Sunday, May 5, as part of Tasting Australia, you can walk with two prominent Barossa families - Henschke and Angas - on a stroll through Hutton Vale Farm in the Barossa’s Eden Valley.
Local Barossa chef Sam Smith of Otherness and formerly Fino at Seppeltsfield, will provide appetisers paired to Hutton Vale and Henschke wines at intervals along the 5km trail, and then serve a Barossa-style lunch at Hutton Vale Farm.
The day begins at Henschke’s historic cellar door in Keyneton.
Meet the family at the heart of one of Australti'as leading family wine companies and then travel to Gnadenberg Church, alongside the world-famous Hill of Grace vineyard.
The Angas family will then guide you over the hill to Hutton Vale Farm’s classified Barossa Old Vine riesling vineyard; where a tasting of the region’s best white wines awaits.
Next stop; shiraz vines planted in 1912 by Ronald Angas - which produce the fruit for Henschke's Mount Edelstone and the starting point beginning of the two families becoming entwined as neighbours, collaborators and friends.
The next tasting awaits at the peak of Mount Edelstone with a trio of shirazes; Hill of Grace, Hutton Vale Farm and Mount Edelstone - along with 360-degree views of northern Eden Valley.
The it is a wander back to Hutton Vale Farm’s courtyard for lunch with a special selection of family wines.
The walk is called the Vino Camino and there is also an accommodation deal on offer.
The event can cater to vegetarian, vegan and coeliac dietary requirements.
