Join us for a unique wine experience in The Reserve Wine Bar; featuring select wines from Soul Growers, hosted by none other than Soul Growers own Stuart “Stuey” Bourne, the 2020 Barossa Winemaker of the Year.

Stuart Bourne is the ‘Baron of the Barossa’ with a vast knowledge about all things wine and is one of the greatest characters of the region. Our team had the pleasure of spending time with Stuey during his visit to Brisbane last year, not only is he an excellent winemaker, but his charisma and passion is next to none.

Soul Growers stands for everything that is great about the Barossa; shared wisdom, new ideas, mateship and a passion for making and enjoying great wine. It was born out of a friendship of three dedicated souls who saw the opportunity to join forces and chase their dream of creating wines and a brand that reflected their view of the Barossa.
