February '07 - Gourmet Wine & Food Fest
Blackboy Ridge was joined by other local wine and
gourmet food producers for this inaugural event which gave visitors the
opportunity to sample and purchase a delectable selection of wine and food
sourced from the Geographe region. The day was a tremendous success with the
crowds able to sample the produce in a relaxing atmosphere before buying
something to take home, or simply eat on the day as a picnic. There were live
performances by local musicians along with children’s activities to keep
everyone entertained. If you didn't make it this year we hope to see you next
year. It's on the same weekend in February as the Brookhampton Estate annual
concert, so book it into your diary for a weekend stay.
