Blesings Garden Wines and Devonshire tea in the Flinders Ranges, South Australia

Once and while you come across an unexpected gem in the most unlikely of places. As we were driving through the Flinders Ranges to Port Germein, we drove past a road sign for a Cellar door and Devonshire tea. Having missed lunch the idea of a scone or two with a pot of tea was tempting, So, we followed the signs to a lovely remote winery in the typical Australian Countryside.  With stunning views of the surrounding area, we were greeted by Margo, David, and their lovely dog Papillion.

The scones were some of the best, home baked and served with the most delicious fresh cream and a selection of locally handmade jams, and tea – seriously divine!

A perfect afternoon, David played some subtle classical piano in the background, while the native birds added some music of their own; the sheep grazed contently on the endless golden fields that where the odd Eucalyptus trees swayed in the wind and filled the air with their fresh scent.

Margo & David the owners joined us for a chat, making us feel right at home.  It was as though we were spending an afternoon with friends on the patio, enjoying their hospitality. David’s family has owned the property and gardens for generations, so he has a story or two to tell of it’s history.

We have take note of this gem, as it’s definitely a place to go back to spend a lazy afternoon, taste some wine with friends (this local boutique brand has won a selection of awards). You can easily pass the time enjoying a piece of the ‘Real Australia’ in it’s; scenery, charm, hospitality, wine, culture and history.
