My favourite wine is Two Rivers Golfers Folly Cabernet Franc - sex in a glass! (this, from a Frenchman)

Bel Vino
A new addition to the Cellar Door range has been our delicious Moscato style wine 'Bel Vino'.
This beautiful wine has won wide appeal in the short time it has been available in the Cellar Door.
The wine is made predominately from Verdelho grapes, is low in alcohol with a slight spritz to it and a touch of sweetness. At only 8% alcohol our Bel Vino is the perfect party wine!
Sydney Wine Show - GOLD & MORE GOLD
Great results for Two Rivers at the recent 2010 Royal Sydney Wine Show. We have won top gold with our 2009 Two Rivers Reserve Chardonnay and gold for our 2009 Stones Throw Semillon
This adds to the Semillon's inclusion in the Top 40 wines of NSW. The Chardonnay comes from a particular area in the vineyard which we have targeted as a premium producing block. We haven't held back on these vines and no expense has been spared in getting it right from the vineyard through to the bottle.
The Semillon has proved a consistent winner with this wine over the years providing Two Rivers with 8 gold, 20 silver and 51 bronze medals.
As we have been targeting these areas of the vineyard for some time now it is very satisfying to get these outstanding results for our wines.
We will continue to enter both these wines at State Shows and are both eligible for entry into the National Wine Show in Canberra.
Two Rivers Guest Cottage
We have recently done a small upgrade to our cottage and are pleased to inform you that it is now air conditioned.
Previously we have had to close the cottage in the hotter months but now this will allow our guests to enjoy the cottage right through summer.
This adds to the 'winter deck' that has been a wonderful addition to the cottage for those who enjoy casual dining through the winter months. Bookings are filling up for 2010, particularly weekends, so please let us know if you would like to book in for a vineyard getaway.
For those of you not limited to weekends, staying mid week in a working vineyard and walking around our beautiful property is a lovely way to spend a few days. The local township of Denman is minutes away and has a wonderful village atmosphere with a unique shopping experience.
The cottage is only a short stroll to the Cellar Door where you can relax, enjoy a cheese and antipasto plate and soak up the magnificent views of the Great Dividing range.
The tasting rooms of Pukara Estate Olives and Hunter Belle Cheese are a 'must do' whilst you are here and the Cellar Doors of Arrowfield, James Estate and Cruickshanks are only a short drive from our vineyard.
Cellar Club Co-ordinator - Tracy Main
Tracy has been with us at Two Rivers since we opened our Cellar Door back in March 2007. With the continued growth of the "Off the Vine" Cellar Club it is exciting that we can now have Tracy extend her role as our Cellar Club Co-ordinator with Cellar Door supervisor.
Tracy will be focusing on servicing our member data base all year round with the added responsibilities of Stock Control and Merchandise management of the Cellar Door.
Tracy has built up a great relationship with many of our members and visitors to the Cellar Door. Tracy's others talents are as a qualified Yoga Teacher and Remedial Massage therapist - so we all get the benefit of being fit and relaxed in her company.
Our First Wedding Proposal
It was a special day on Friday 19th March when Sydney couple Elle & Jonathan (a Scotsman to boot) became engaged right here on our property. This wonderful couple had previously visited the vineyard and Elle was particularly impressed with the outlook from the viewing platform.
Clever Jonathan filed this away for future reference and decided on their next visit to Two Rivers he would propose to Elle whilst enjoying the magnificent views and a bottle of Cuvee.
A little nervous on how to proceed with the proposal, Jonathon decided to place the ring box on one of the posts on the platform and then get Elle to take a photo of the view (with post included).
Once photo was taken he told her to have a good look at the photo - to which Elle replied 'What's that little black thing on the post?' Jonathon suggested she take a closer look and after much crying, laughing and emotion Jonathon got down on bended knee and did the formal proposal. Who said the Scottish weren't romantic!
