Fireside Festival, Each weekend in August, 2009Lerida Estate will be presenting a food and wine matching session each Saturday in August as our contribution to the Fireside Festival 2009 . We will have a different visiting chef each week. The sessions will be organised over 5 weeks and we will use each Saturday to present a course of a dinner party: canapes; entree; main; cheese; dessert. Each course will be matched with a Lerida Estate wine or wines. Come and see how the professionals do it, and take some ideas home for your next dinner party! Venue: Lerida Estate Barrel Room Time: Each Saturday in August, 2.30-4.30. Bookings: 02 6295 6640 Cost: TBA Current Activities Come and Play Petanque! Lerida Estate recently constructed a major Petanque facility on the Federal Highway at Lake George with 26 international standard pistes, designed by Canberra-based landscape architect and golf course expert, Jamie Dawson of Enviro Links. On 30 September 2007, Lerida hosted its first major tournament; a doubles competition for a perpetual trophy. More than 150 players from 3 States and overseas participated, including some world-class professionals. If you want to find out why Petanque, normally associated
with sleepy village squares on a warm Sunday afternoon, is one of
the fastest growing participant sports in the world, take a trip
to the Collector end of Lake George and see what it is all about
(see www.leridaestate.com/events.html for details).
Disabled Suffer No Disadvantage The conventional form of Petanque is one of the few completely
inclusive outdoor games, allowing people of all ages and degrees
of mobility to play together in a game that can be a simple recreation
or an international World Cup standard event. Generally tournaments at Lerida Estate are open to all classes of equipment. Occasionally however, more specialised gear for official tournaments will be required. Participants will be advised beforehand if this is the case. Environmentally Friendly The requirements for recognition as an international standard venue have lead Lerida to seek out the special fine gravel seen in French village market squares or the increasingly common indoor arenas, known as Boulodromes. The whole complex will eventually be landscaped extensively with picnic facilities and local plants selected for their hardiness and low water needs. It will be available for all forms of boules, including bocce and bolas, also popular in Australia. Local club competitions are now held on the last Saturday of each month at Lerida Estate. The next major tournament planned for 2008 is over the Anzac Day long weekend, Friday 25th and Saturday 26th April. For further information please contact:
WINERY TOUR PACKAGES for GROUPS There are two different winery tour packages we are able to offer

Bookings: Ring 6295 6640 Lake George Vineyards Walk Experience the beauty of Lake George and get some exercise at the same time. Walk from Lerida Estate, above the vineyard of Lake George Wines, down past the restaurant (formerly Madews, now owned by Lake George Wines) and back to Lerida Estate along the road. The round trip is approximately 1.5 km. Walkers can do the walk any time during the opening hours of the two wineries. Opening hours are different for the different wineries. Lerida Estate is open 7 days a week from 10 – 5. Lake George Wines are currently only open by appointment, so let us know if you would like to do the walk and we will try to arange it for you. It is essential to wear walking shoes. This can be runners – but the shoes should have good gripping soles because some of the terrain can be a bit steep. If you want to see the great views of Lake George, you need to go up the hill a bit. The walk will be signposted, so just follow the arrows. Also, pick up a map from Lerida which shows you the route to take and gives you some notes on what you will see on the walk. If you are doing the walk on the weekend or a public holiday, why don't you plan to have lunch at Cafe Lerida (see menu above) Contact: Anne or Jim, Lerida Estate on 6295 6640 or 0412 262 321/0419 246 149.
