The wetlands have been lovingly restored from a degraded creek line into a biodiverse wetland with six interlinking dams and 50,000 native plants over 10 hectares making it a haven for native birds, plants and animals. After a leisurely stroll along the one kilometre Ecotrail, guests are treated to a gourmet picnic with your choice of Gemtree wine in a picturesque and secluded setting amongst nature.
The picnic features some of the best fresh produce and foods from local artisan producers prepared by the award-winning team at the nearby Salopian Inn.

Guests will be given a bottle* of wine (from our Regional Collection) to enjoy over lunch or take home as a gift. (*One bottle per two people).
