Two very diffrent visits I organised a Sunday lunch at The Boston Bay Winery for 24 members & guests of the Cummins Beef Steak & Burgandy Club.Took my ideas to Jan & her team who made them into a perfect expresion of my vision. Nine courses with eight wines, the wines came from Boston Bay, Adelaide Hills, Brarossa Valley, Wrattonbully and two from France. Just to mention two of the courses, ''Wagyu steak bites with balsamic caramelised red onion and a refreshing citrus based labneh.' and 'Roast rack of local lamb with leeks, sauteed and fried, pan -fried wild mushrooms in butter, red harissa and local honey roasted dutch carrots topped with leek-based soubise'. .Talking to Jan we discussed all the elements that need to come together to make a memorable experiance. Venue - tick, food - tick, wine - tick. table setting - tick, service - tick. Three hours of absolute delight. Not cheap and nor should it be. Thanks Jan and all your team for a trully wonderful day. If you want a meal to remember with a group, or for a special event contact Jan and enjoy. Visit two - Went back the following week with Sandra on a cold wet saturday [June long weekend] sat by the window looking out over a storm swept Spencer Gulf with the vineyard in the forground, a wonderful view. Enjoyed a couple of dishes straight off the menue, one dish would have been more than enougth as they were quite large. The tuna in paticular was delicious, Sandra loved the spring rolls, full of flavor, Tried the Barristers Block Cabernet Savignon again and a Cordon Cut Savignon Blanc, which went well with the berry sorbet. Left with a few wines to take home and enjoy. A great way to spend a saturday afternoon. Thanks again...
Read moreLast week was my second time visiting Boston Bay Wines during travels to the Eyre Peninsula and honestly it is one of my all time favourite wineries (and that's saying a lot considering I'm surrounded by the Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale and Barossa wine regions). The staff are always super friendly and helpful, going above and beyond. The place is absolutely gorgeous; whether you visit in winter and enjoy the views from the cosy interior near the fire or middle of summer under the shade looking out over the vines and sea. Last week when we visited, we called ahead and asked whether we could bring our two dogs (on leash) and they couldn't have been more lovely, giving us advice beforehand and then bringing water for the pups while we were sipping their delectable wines and eating from a superbly put together cheeseboard (the cheese was so good, I went and asked what brands they used so I could get some more later!). Would 100% recommend visiting this beautiful winery if you get a chance. Not only is it beautiful but their prices are extremely reasonable. The view is unmatched and the vibe is relaxed and friendly. Couldn't ask for more. Will...
Read morePort lincoln is an amazing, beautiful place with unbelievable views. Jan and her husband have created a place of great food, beautiful wine and friendly hospitality...Jan gave me a menu for wine tasting and food....I selected the wines and they were great. I ended up buying two bottles. She also made time for a chat and gave me a book to read on her history with wines etc. It is a credit to her what she has been through and achieved in her life and how family, and is so special. My husbandgrew up in Port Lincoln and we have been coming for years to visit family but never been to Boston winery....thankyou Jan and her husband for making my afternoon by myself while hubby was fishing a great and memorable experience. I could sit and.look at the view for hours...keep up the great work and don't change a thing. People will always complain when they expect perfection instead of just appreciating...
