There is more than just wine to enjoy at the Two Hands winery cellar door in the Barossa, local tourism folk report.
One of the newer experiences in South Australia's wine central is the Kraehe Nature Trail, promoted as a "serene, self-guided walking experience" in Marananga.
The "easy-going" trail starts at cellar door and winds along the Kraehe House Block vineyard, offering views of Seppeltsfield Road palms and the historic Marananga church, with opportunities to also engage with the resident Scottish Highland cattle.
Featuring informative signs on local history and sustainability, along with 250+ new native plants, the family-friendly trail is open during cellar door hours.
The cattle came about because Two Hands proprietor Michael Twelftree has always loved cows and when the opportunity came to have his own, he jumped at the chance.
Brutus was a character in Twelftree's favourite childhood comic, Asterix, and is now the name of a bullish hairy critter.
Records show that Highland cattle are the oldest registered breed in the world and, interestingly, a group of Highland Cattle is not called a herd but a “fold”. The Two Hands fold are free to graze around their large acreage paddock living the high life.
