Two significant occasions are occurring at Douglas Vale Historic Homestead and Vineyard. At 10 am the Archive Storage Facility is being officially opened. Later in the morning, our ‘1821 Premium Port’ will be released. Douglas Vale Historic Homestead and Vineyard are celebrating the Port-Macquarie-Hastings Bicentenary with this superb port. The new archive storage facility provides an office area to catalogue and record all their artifacts and a secure storage area for historic items that are not currently able to be displayed. The ‘1821 Premium Port’ is made from the heirloom Black Isabella grape variety, which is now over 150 years old. This Port has been specifically bottled to celebrate the 2021 Bi-Centenary. Wood matured in oak casks for eight years it has developed into a slightly sweet, rich and soft wine. If you are a fan of our famous Portobello, then please make sure you do not miss the opportunity to obtain this new limited release offering. It will be available from the Douglas Vale Cellar Door from the 10th of April. The Cellar Door is open every Wednesday and Saturday from 10 am to 3 pm. With only a limited number of bottles available, make sure you visit soon to obtain your '1821 Premium Port'.
