Hello hello... who's this then?! 🤣
Never thought a morning truffle hunt would end up in a Queensland tourism campaign.
If you've been waiting for a sign to come and visit the Granite Belt, this might be it! 🍄🐾

No toasties Friday (we know… tragic)
But we’re back Saturday!
And Sunday - post egg hunt, obviously 🐰🍫

That's right folks! We've got fuel, we've got chocolate, and we can't wait to see you!

When Michelle heard guests had started calling to find out about the fuel situation on the Granite Belt with Easter approaching, she left the busy-ness of making wine 🍷and made a beeline to the local servo operators and we’re pleased to report:

The local guys have let us know there are no [repeat no] issues with fuel supplies coming into the Granite Belt.🐰⛽🙂

So pack the car, grab the chocolate and hit the road. The Granite Belt is ready for your Easter adventure🧡🧡🧡and we can't wait to welcome you all!

Happy International Women’s Day 💜

Today we celebrate the women of the truffle industry — and the women across all industries — who show up, work hard, back each other, and make things happen.

From farms and kitchens to offices, labs, workshops and classrooms, women are quietly doing extraordinary things every single day.

Here’s to strong women… and the truffle dogs who keep us on our toes. 🐾

Childhood happiness tastes a lot like strawberry ice cream in the country. Pick your own or visit the cafe at Ashbern Farms

Slow mornings. Quiet water. Clear skies.
Sundays are for doing very little, very well.

Meet the locals.
They’re friendly, curious, and very much on donkey time.

A perfect day on the Granite Belt looks a lot like this 🧀
Enjoy a cheese plate at Stanthorpe Cheese… or take a little something back to camp and let the sunset do the rest...

No itinerary required. Just exploring, wandering and seeing where the day takes you.
