It’s summertime at Main Ridge Dairy, the season for their award winning hard cheeses - called Caprinella & Capony. This time of year the milk volume from the goats generally drops as feed hardens. Like all things from this award winning dairy, good planning and care prevails and due to the great cut of silage this year (harvested on the farm) the girls are well fed through summer which keeps them happy.

What we love about Lindenderry this time of year is its symmetrical gravel walkways with carefully planted short hedges that lead to the many, park-like open lawn spaces that form what we call ‘natural outdoor rooms’. It’s these open spaces that offer respite from the heat, from the hub-bub of city life and provide the opportunity to frolic, play games, or enjoy a picnic. When you finish playing you can cool down around the beautiful pool. Lindenderry has it all; above and beyond everything else it offers a luxurious space, where you can just be, without a worry in the world to care about cause it’s being done for you in a traditional way with service at it’s core. Fuelling this direction is a team with an incredibly impressive food & beverage background and their winery which, recently received another 5 stars from James Halliday.

Ever wondered what key benefits arise from a full sourdough fermentation, that excludes the use of bakers yeast? For starters, the long slow fermentation brakes down about 90% of the gluten in the bread so even the wheat loaves are very low in gluten, suitable for most people with gluten intolerance.

The Cri de Coeur Pinot Noir represents the pinnacle of Crittenden Estate’s winemaking and something the family is very proud of. The story behind Cri de Coeur says a lot about the formidable force the two generations of Crittendens represent in Australian wine. Two years ago the opening of the Crittenden Wine Centre also broke new ground by seating visitors at tables and serving wines in themed “flights” to illustrate common stylistic, varietal and geographic threads. It is here – at the Wine Centre - you can learn more about the Cri de Coeur but more importantly go on a journey through the entire Crittenden Estate wine range.

What can we tell you about the Cellar and Pantry? Well for starters this is a place people come from near and afar to enjoy. You can eat in, take out or take home a delectable array of local fresh produce, local and imported deli or cellar items home. Either way it is worthy of your time. On the busiest of days you’ll order coffee and something scrumptious to eat at the window, you’ll go inside to forage for pantry items to take home until your name is called out whereby you’ll stop everything to find a seat on the iconic deck to enjoy the moment. If there aren’t any?
