Marron is one of the region’s most sought-after local delicacies and Howard Park has paired the freshwater crustacean with other delicious native foods, matched with a generous array of their wine, for a Bacchanalian-inspired feast provided by a private chef. Feast with your friends on a lazy afternoon while enjoying the chapel and stunning vineyard surrounds. The Private Marron & Native Foods Experience is a four-hour treat for $295 per person.

A further experience is the  Private Group Tasting and Regional Tasting Platter – where guests will enjoy a showcase of both the Howard Park and Marchand & Burch ranges, sampling a wide range of varietals, discovering the nuanced terroirs of the winery’s three vineyard locations.
