Movies are a grape night out

By Mara Pattison-Sowden
ROCHFORD Wines’ has continued Movies in the Vineyard with a new February program out this week.
The summer evenings have been substantially scaled up this year, with a new big screen format, a truly exciting line-up of films and plenty of space to enjoy it – with the mountain ranges in the background and the grapevines on either side.
When dusk descends, a spectacular sunset heralds an engaging experience, a wine or two serves to relax, children have space to roam and explore and a great movie transports the audience in the twilight. The program and online ticket sales are available at www.rochfordwines.com.au
Here are some of the highlights from the February calendar, for a full listing check out www.rochfordwines.com.au:
