Southern Ocean Lodge invites guests to an indulgent winter wine weekend in partnership with the Barossa Valley's Hentley Farm. Set against the wild beauty of Kangaroo Island, this immersive experience brings together exceptional wines, inspired cuisine and the warmth of island hospitality.
Hosted by Hentley Farm founders Keith and Ali Hentschke, the weekend unfolds through a curated program of fireside masterclasses, relaxed lunches and elegant dinners. Guests will explore rare and museum release wines alongside current vintages, including vertical tastings of the acclaimed 'The Beast' and 'Clos Otto' Shiraz. From a Blanc de Noir welcome on arrival to a showpiece Icon degustation dinner, each moment reveals the stories, craft and provenance behind every glass.
Between tastings, guests may discover the lodge's signature experiences, from guided coastal walks to encounters with Kangaroo Island's abundant wildlife. Time at the lodge invites fireside conversations and sweeping views over the Southern Ocean, where nature provides a dramatic backdrop to each gathering.
With limited guest numbers, the weekend promises an intimate atmosphere, generous access to the Hentley Farm team and a shared celebration of wine, place and season.
