Welcoming all wine, foodies and outdoor adventurers to the Darling Cellars annual Crush Day. On 27 February 2016 it is the ideal opportunity to hit the road and venture out to the scenic Darling winelands for the annual Darling Cellars Crush Day.
Kick the day of with a healthy Darling breakfast
Then it is off to the vineyard to pick your own grapes. The highlight of the affair is the grape stomping contest that will see teams grab grapes and smash the purple-skinned fruit enthusiastically to determine who can produce the most juice. Prizes are up for grabs. The best dressed team will also be awarded.
An event fit for the whole family
While parents are enjoying a glass of wine after having lamb on the spit for lunch, the little ones can play to their hearts’ content in the play area with a jumping castle, waterslide, treasure hunt and face painting.
