25.01.2022 THE NEW RULES / we wanted to loop you in to what is going on in (our) world right now, in keeping up with COVID-19 regulations and making sure your visit to our venue is a safe one. Were currently doing three seatings a day - 11am, 1pm and 3pm: the important part there is the word seatings. . As of this week, you must be seated to be served alcohol: we highly highly encourage booking in, because if you stroll up to our place and there isnt a place to park yourself, unfort...unately we will not be able to accommodate you: and thatd be a shame! Our tastings are beautiful, in-depth experiences and we would hate for you to miss out . . Tap the link to explore our tasting experiences https://www.chalkhillwines.com.au/visit-us . Were hoping that by taking these measures seriously and turning them into something that is equal parts reasonable and hospitable, we can keep our incredible industry alive in the midst of the madness. . Love, the Chalk Hill Team #cheers See more

25.01.2022 Slow pouring into the weekend with a golden glass of Fiano

24.01.2022 Happy Fathers Day to all the dads! We hope your glass is full

24.01.2022 That Rosé glow Have you had the chance to try this drop? Its only been available for a week and its been flying out the cellar door. https://www.chalkhillwines.com.au//chalk-hill-grenache-rose

24.01.2022 Today is international Grenache day well cheers to that! Check out our 90 year old Grenache vines located in Blewitt Springs #internationalgrenacheday

23.01.2022 CLOSED (for now) / so it's been a little bit over a month since we first opened and we have to be honest: you guys have blown us away and it is just what we have needed in the chaos that has been this week. . We knew that we had something special here from the get-go, but to see you flooding in every day, bringing your friends, telling the people you work with and never letting us forget how much you love what we do has been indescribable. . Thank you. We are floored. Your support has been just what we needed (its probably THE most complicated time to exist - ever) and we are so appreciative. We will see you soon. Stay safe, stay well - and know that we will be back, better than ever, as soon as we are able

21.01.2022 We’ve just been crowned Bushing Monarchs for 2020. WASSAIL!!

21.01.2022 Hello merch! Weve created a little Rosé bundle only limited stock available online

21.01.2022 Working from home? So are we. Whilst 2020 is off to a craptactular start for our world, we were super happy with our first look at the 2020 wines post ferment. Shiraz looked really pretty with layers of spice, Grenache is gorgeous and our new organic Montepulciano is going to be a lot of fun. Stay safe and well!

21.01.2022 Wine time Friday Twilights kicking off from 6 until 10pm Tunes by @josh_morphett Wines by us Pinasas by @cucinastrada ... Gins by @neverneverdistillingco Good times by all No bookings

20.01.2022 Our wine and cheese flight: the first of many experiences well be offering you. After our opening weekend (thank you so much to everyone who came and helped us kick it off with a bang!), were even more passionate about bringing something new to our region Keep an eye out for this (and a wine x chocolate flight, too!) in the coming weeks. #howgood #cheers

18.01.2022 ALL LONG WEEKEND: were up here, serving up the good stuff. Weve been so happy (but not at all surprised) to see how much youve loved our wine and chocolate flights over the last few days: so will you be in today, or tomorrow? . Photo: @meaghan_coles_photography

18.01.2022 Weekend reading sorted Alpha Crucis Adelaide Hills Chardonnay is silky on the palate with hints of nectarine, honeyed melon and fine whipped cream. Fruit is sourced from the highest vineyards in the Piccadilly Valley in the Adelaide Hills. ... Pairs perfectly with chicken, brie and hazelnut salad.

16.01.2022 UPDATE: we dont just want to come back - we want to come back right . Of course we didnt plan for the whole world to fold in on the cusp of our second month as a cellar door, but as is our way were using this as an opportunity to tighten things up, make things equal parts safe and memorable and to step out better than ever . . Its not just the reopening of Chalk Hill Collective on our minds; weve also been very busy with some other great stuff behind the scenes - more on that to come. Cheers!

09.01.2022 Hello, Im Ziggy and Ill be looking after you today! Would you like to sit inside or outside? Had a ruff day? Lets get you a bowl of wine #gooddoggo

09.01.2022 Introducing 2020 Chalk Hill Diana Mary Grenache Rosè This drop is dedicated to Diana Harvey or Disey as shes affectionately known. Disey and John Harvey established Chalk Hill in 1964 A huge amount of care and secrecy has gone into crafting this aromatic dry style Rosé. Grenache grapes were picked from our Slate Creek vineyard, which is located on the northern edge of Willunga.... https://www.chalkhillwines.com.au//chalk-hill-grenache-rose

09.01.2022 INTRODUCING WINE AND CHOCOLATE FLIGHTS - whos keen? Some people are surprised at how well the two go together: more often people think of cheese and wine as being complimentary Chocolate has the same mouthfeel as cheese but with more excitement, and the wine and chocolate weve chosen to pair is the result of lots of tasting and testing: lucky us! This is one for the dessert lovers, and its a real experience: we cant wait for you to come and try it for yourself

Stay safe and well!

08.01.2022 + = / our cheese pairings are an experience we are so so excited to share with you: delicious cheese, some of our favourite drops and a whole lotta unforgettable. How good.

04.01.2022 These wintry nights call for a glass (or two) of our Luna Shiraz Have you tasted this drop? If not, heres what you can expect; on the palate its vibrantly fruit-driven with layers of plum and a subtle hint of vanilla. This wine medium-full bodied and perfumed with red berries and floral notes. https://www.chalkhillwines.com.au//2018-chalk-hill-luna-sh

03.01.2022 Thanks for the mention, Australian Traveller! What an itinerary

02.01.2022 We’ve had two wines selected in James Halliday’s Top 100 wines of 2020 2018 Chalk Hill Clarendon Syrah - a fine example of temperate-grown Shiraz. The bouquet pulsates with black cherry, spice, licorice and pepper, the palate opening with a fanfare of dark fruits and finishes with fine-grained tannins. The drinking window is open, and won’t close for decades. 2019 Alpha Crucis Old Vine Grenache - brilliant crimson hue: an intensely perfumed bouquet floats into the juicy pa...late of pomegranate, red cherry and spice. A gorgeous Grenache. Superlative length. - James Halliday
