1851 @ Hill House was such a wonderful experience. From the minute we confirmed our booking, Mark was welcoming, attentive and so helpful. From restaurant suggestions to offering to confirm bookings, nothing was too hard. Check in was a breeze and we loved the attention we received from not only Mark, but his three gorgeous and friendly dogs. 1851 is a gorgeous and very cosy cottage, with so much history and character. Mark has fitted out the cottage beautifully. Tucked away in Angaston, we loved that it was only a short drive from the wine trail.
When Mark discovered that Riesling is my go-to wine, he immediately offered to organise a wine-tasting with RieslingFreak (a MUST DO if you're in Tanunda) and even organised transport to the cellar door.
Mark also recommended a meal at FermentAsian - another "must do". As it was the long weekend, the degustation menu was on offer and wow - what an experience. An extremely impressive wine list so Mark's advice to leave the car in Angaston was a good call!
It's worth noting that Angaston is much quieter than other towns in the Barossa so a car is essential and take note of opening hours. We were there during a long weekend and a lot of places were closed entirely or early.
A wonderful weekend... and we'll definitely be back!
