Now the Hooley family behind Oakdene is opening a new multi-million dollar wine, art and dining destination later this week.
Quiddity Place, surrounded by vines and olive groves (above), brings together a restaurant (Hidden Frog, led by chef Dwayne Bourke, who has 25+ years of experience), a cellar door and two art galleries.
There will also be boutique vineyard accommodation overlooking Swan Bay.
The sprawling Mannerim property has 60 acres of vines and more than 6,000 olive trees producing Lighthouse Olive Oil.
The family-friendly, non smoking facility features a gift shop, electric vehicle charging point and function spaces.
Hidden Frog will open for lunch Wednesday to Sunday, and dinner Friday and Saturday nights.
Think small plates like pan-seared scallops with edamame puree and miso butter, or pork belly with maple caramel pears, kohlrabi and radish salad.
Bigger plates may include baked Roman-style pumpkin gnocchi with tomato sugo, broccolini and gremolata, or slow-cooked lamb shoulder, red pepper jam, zucchini caponata and new potatoes.
All dishes can be matched with Oakdene wines.
