Rockford's Stonewallers Lunch

Robert O'Callaghan outstanding Barossa winery, Rockford, invites its most loyal customers to join the Stonewallers (not a cricketing term). There is a discreet cellar door for the benefit of members and the privilege of applying to attend the Stonewall Table (Thursday and Friday lunch all year round).

I was the guest of Rockford last year and had one of the meals of my life with chefs Michael Vourmand and Ali Cribb cooking only fresh produce from theirs and Rockford's gardens and orchards matched with mature Rockford wines. White asparagus, artichoke, broad beans and lots more were transformed by thoughtful, skilful, minimalist cooking. Michael Vourmand's excitement that garlic was back in season was worth the journey. It's one of the great Australian wine and food experiences; something to aspire to, plan for, experience.
