THE GOOD LIFE AT NEST 🫖☕🎥🫐🥑📔

Arriving from Sydney, originally hailing from Wagga, Laura fell in love with Tumbarumba and a particular building with great potential. From the outset, Nest has always been about people gathering to enjoy the best things in life.

15 years, a husband and 3 kids later, Nest has become a shared vision, grown and sustained by their friends, staff, locals and visitors built on an ethos of showcasing local produce.

Fast forward to today, and the buzzing cafe is currently a cornucopia of last minute Christmas gift ideas from beautiful books, house made jams, Riverina Gin to The Ministry of Chocolate’s Raspberry Chocolate Jellies, you’ll be hard pressed not to consume them yourselves prior to gifting anything!

Or perhaps you can just treat your tastebuds to Nest’s annual baking offering of mince tarts, available in morning batches to enjoy with a coffee in the cafe, or as pre ordered gift tins for Christmas.

At Nest, you can also experience one of only a handful of single screen cinemas left in Australia. Once a dark Masonic lodge, now a boutique cinema and live music venue. Nest are opening the cinema for a screening Saturday 21 December of ‘The Polar Express’, $10 tickets include an ice cream treat, via https://cafe-nest.com/

Come share the good life at Nest, not your average cookie cutter cafe that’s for sure.

PS. Nest are hosting a Christmas Edition market on the lawns tomorrow Saturday 14 December showcasing local makers, growers and their wares! 🎁🎅🌲🎄🍎

JOHANSEN WINES – GAMAY OR SPARKLING FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS TABLE?

Taking a break from the vineyard, Tom Southwell took a moment to chat about what Johansen Wines might be great on the Christmas table this year..

Their 2023 Gamay ‘The Alchemist’, is a fruit forward wine, that sits in oak. Fresh and juicy, featuring red berries, subtle spice, a touch of earthiness, and soft tannins it can be served slightly chilled, great for cool nights and warm days this summer, preserving the bright fruit flavours and natural acidity essential for Gamay.

OR if bubbles are more your thing, you might consider Johansen Wines’ Sparkling Cuvee 2021 Methodé Traditionelle, a refined blend of green apple and lemon curd, with a rich, creamy texture. With fine bubbles and crisp acidity creating an elegant finish and subtle hints of toasted brioche, perfect for pairing with oysters, scallops, and creamy cheeses like brie or camembert.

Jump online via www.johansenwines.com.au to stock up for the silly season and Christmas lunch/dinner, or pop over to their cellar door on the weekend.

Family-owned and operated, the Johansen Wines vineyard in Tumbarumba, captivates with its organic, vegan-friendly and award-winning cool climate wines.

Set inside of the original shearing shed the recently renovated space is a great space to learn all about what makes Tumbarumba wines so special, offering a stunning range of sparklings, riesling, chardonnay, gamay, pinot noir and more.

TUMBARUMBA TO ROSEWOOD RAIL TRAIL

We love seeing more and more cyclists in our neck of the woods, as they take advantage of the Tumarumba to Rosewood Rail Trail - 21 kilometres of sealed trail with gentle gradients and sweeping curves that officially opened in 2020.

On the trail, heritage listed buildings and four restored bridges from the original Rail line, which are of significant historical importance, have been preserved in the reconstruction and refurbishment process including Mannus Creek Bridge, a seven span tall bridge which also features an inbuilt curve, a master piece of bridge building.

With Trailheads at Figures Street Tumbarumba, and at McEachern Lane in Rosewood, there are car parks at both ends of the trail, and facilities along the trail including bike tools, pump and picnic areas.

If you’re in town, forgot to pack your bike and are experiencing FOMO AND need a bike pronto, e-bike hire can be accessed at Ride Tumba, Tumba Bikes and Blooms, Rosewood Cafe & General Store, and Trio Bikes/Tumbarumba Rotary.

Don’t worry if you haven’t packed snacks for refuelling, make a mental note that the Rosewood Rail Trail Cafe & General Store, 1650 Wagga Road, Rosewood is open Monday - Saturday 9am until 5pm.
