Our monthly Friday night wine tasting returns this week.

The first one with The Wine Bar was such a success that we’ve decided to make it a regular event.

This month we’re exploring Chenin Blanc, with Symeon leading us through some outstanding Australian examples, a French Vouvray and a sparkling Chenin to showcase just how versatile this variety can be.

Whether you’re a Chenin fan or just want to try something new, we think you’ll love this.

It’s one of those beautiful hills mornings.

The mist is still in the trees and the village is slowly coming to life for another week.

We never quite get tired of mornings like this.

Happy Monday🌳❤️

It’s market day in Kallista!!

The stallholders and volunteers have been hard at work this morning getting everything ready, and there’s already a buzz around the village.

If you’re looking for something to do today, come and support our local market, catch up with friends, and enjoy everything that makes our little community so special❤️🌳

See you in Kallista

It’s not a bad way to start the day. ☕️

It’s a little dreary outside, but there’s coffee, English muffins and local jam waiting inside, and it’s warm.

Some days it’s the simple things

We’ve been working hard for you today…

Rachel and I spent part of today taste-testing possible additions to The Wine Bar menu. Tough job, but we’re willing to make the sacrifice.

Today’s contender? Baked brie with black garlic, rosemary, honey and toasted focaccia.

After a thorough investigation (and perhaps a second or third taste ), we’re pleased to report it was a success🧀

Watch this space. A few new additions to The Wine Bar menu may be arriving soon.

There’s no better feeling than coming into the store on a Monday morning and seeing everything shining.

There’s also no faster way to spend your own money. I walk in as the owner and leave feeling like a customer.

A big thank you to our wonderful team who take such pride in making the store look beautiful. We notice it, and so do our customers. Thank you ❤️

Have you been yet?

We still can’t believe how good The Wine Bar looked on Friday night.

Seeing it full of conversation, laughter and good wine was one of those moments that reminded us why we created it in the first place.

If you’ve visited already, thank you. If not, consider this your invitation.

The Wine Bar is open until nine Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we do🍷🧀🫒

See you in Kallista

From 1973–1978, this lovely gentleman, Lou Heys owned ‘our’ store and lived out the back. This week, his daughter and granddaughter brought him back to visit. What a privilege it was to show them through the premises and hear their stories of life in Kallista.

They very kindly gifted us some incredible treasures, including old photographs, local history books, and the original scales and weights once used in the post office. In return, we gave them a copy of the ‘new’ history book.

One of the things we’ve loved since taking over the store is hearing the memories people have of this building and this beautiful community. These visitors are not the first former owners to return, and every time it reminds us just how deeply connected people feel to this little store and corner of the hills.

If you pop in, we’d love to show you some of the treasures previous owners and families have gifted over the years, including the original dinner set and silverware, generously passed on by the great-great-grandson of the store’s very first owners. We’re so lucky in Kallista ❤️🌳
