We like to think of this weekend as a tiny festival of Hunter Valley goodies. On Saturday afternoon an array of stations will be set up at Capers to satisfy all your desires. You are free to roam between sampling cheese, whisky, wine, chocolate, olives and more whilst delicious canapes spill from the Capers kitchen. You won’t need to watch your drinking or shift from foot-to-foot as you listen to benign lectures on fermentation. This is only the best and it all comes to you. Later on we have also enlisted Wollombi’s finest musos to play us a jig.
