I still can’t work out how I found out about this place but I am glad I did. We went up one lazy Sunday afternoon for wood oven pizzas as once a month they host a Sunday pizza lunch(visit the website to find out when). The service was great and we were welcomed to the winery like we were family. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful view as well as getting to watch our pizzas being made fresh in an epic wood oven. Not your standard pizza toppings but they were very yummy — we had the marinated lamb and smashing pumpkin! The pizzas were delicious and it would be remiss of me to mention that the wine was delightful. I’d suggest booking, it got pretty busy pretty fast.

Great Wines in the Adelaide Hills, Just outside of Mt Barker is this little gem of a Winery. Not just your everyday wines. The staff believe in healthier sustainable bio-dynamic wines(keep an eye out for sheep in the vines as you drive to the Cellar Door. What is also great about this place is their regular ‘Last Sunday of the Month’ Lunch. Most often they serve up some tasty Organic Wood Oven Pizza, but there are also other occasions, such as the annual Feral Feast. If you aren’t doing anything one Sunday and love some great wines, it’s well worth the short drive(especially for the last Sunday of the Month)

This lovely little place is well worth the drive(or cycle, if you’re that good). Hidden a short distance from Mt Barker, tucked into a peaceful spot near Mt Barker Summit, it’s surrounded by beautiful views. We sought it out for its monthly wood oven pizza afternoon, and boy were we glad we did. The well-sized pizzas(at a guess about 12″ — we were fine with half each) were all $ 20, and topped with fresh, tasty produce from the winery’s gardens and other local sources. Our pick was a splendid fennel, broccolini, Paris Creek feta and olive number, but the braised beef with fiore di latte and capsicum nearly won out.(It seems I didn’t take a photo — oops! Our order went missing so after a 40 minute wait I guess the hunger won out.) Ngeringa’s biodynamic wines were available by the glass for around $ 7 and by the bottle for around $ 30. Not usually big rosé drinkers, we loved theirs: dry and wonderfully refreshing on the warm afternoon. Wine tasting was available for a fee of $ 15 per person. At $ 10 a pop, we passed on the homemade cake(although it looked delicious) and settled for the decent, but not outstanding coffee. We also enjoyed meeting the winery’s resident cat and two dogs — they won’t bother you if you’re not interested, but if you succumb to giving them a pat or two, good luck getting away.
