25.01.2022 Well folks it's 'de-suckering' time in the vineyard...that means cutting off those pesky suckers at the bottom of the vines...not my favourite job. However, I do use muscles I forgot I had...may even get fit LOL Serving lunch Saturdays and Sundays! For reservations, please call Julieanne on 0407724511 (M)

24.01.2022 "Neither rain, nor sleet, nor dark of night shall stay these couriers I MEAN PRUNERS from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." Great job today, Geoff, Mark and Paige! You are appreciated!

23.01.2022 To our wonderful customers, family, friends & community, the past 18 months have brought many challenges that we have never faced before and have lead us to the decision of closing our restaurant. Our last day will be the 29th of November 2020. When we started the business we had dreams of a small cellar door, offering tastings and simple cheese platters, our restaurant exceeded our wildest expectations and for that we will always be grateful. We won’t be gone forever but for now we close our doors. To purchase our wine in the future, or for a tasting, this may be done through the website or by contacting Julieanne directly via mobile 0407724511. With sincere thanks, Julieanne and the Iron Pot Bay Vineyard team.

19.01.2022 Do you often wonder where names come from? Rowella Road ends at a beautiful bay. On very old sailing charts it was named Iron Pot Bay. Our 'iron pot' washed up on the shores of the Tamar River. Sat at the old cellar door at Deviot, then the entrance to the vineyard and now sits proudly at the cottage. Sturdily made, with solid rivets and showing a beautiful pateena, we used it as inspiration for our logo and love its final resting place... Open for lunch Saturday and Sunday from 11am. Please call Julieanne for reservations 0407724511 (M)

13.01.2022 This evening I had the pleasure of speaking at Lulu's at Trevallyn! A local charter of the 'Beefsteak and Burgundy Club' were treated to a delicious dinner!
