Nourish Yourself Bellwether Retreat for Women

Thursday - Saturday

Take some time out for yourself. 

Indulge all your senses.

Pause…Breath…Receive. 

Gaze at the stars.

Bask in the glow of the fire.

Enjoy delicious nourishing food.

Find the space within.

You’ll enjoy…

A guided wine tasting and sparkling wine masterclass, djembe drumming, sourdough making workshop, an easy flow yoga session, fresh herbal teas and delicious nourishing food. 

Your meals will be prepared by Bellwether’s Produce Chef, utilising seasonal produce from the garden. Enjoy a glass of wine with dinner or delicious non-alcoholic herb-ade made with fresh herbs from the garden

Take home your very own fresh loaf of sourdough ... and Bellwether’s amazing starter culture to continue the sourdough joy at home.

Some places feed and inspire the soul…

Bellwether is one of those places, a place that links nature, art, music, fresh produce and nostalgia.

The retreat is based at Bellwether, a sensitively renovated 1868 historical rustic shearing shed. Where you’ll experience the boutique winery, cellar door, produce garden and campgrounds. Located on Pinechunga country, Coonawarra, on the Limestone Coast, S.A. this is the land of beautiful redgums and underground aquifers.

Sue Bell the owner, and creative wine maker, crafts with climate appropriate grape alternatives and classics from Coonawarra and Wrattonbully. Wine made in small batches of high-end fruit, using indigenous yeast and gently handled to amplify fragrance, quality tannins and complex texture.  

Don’t drink wine?

That’s fine, we will create special infused non-alcoholic beverages for you to enjoy with herbs from the produce garden.

• Private In-house wine tasting with Sue Bell, wine maker.

Embrace the elements

Glamping tents will contain flannelette sheets, hot water bottles and a small gas heater. Yoga mats will be supplied, you are welcome to bring your own.

Dress for relaxation and comfort.

Wake to the sound of birds

You will be surrounded by old red gums and a central communal campfire to gaze at stars and share conversation in the evenings.
