Herons Rise Vineyard is in a rural setting, a kilometre up the road from Kettering. We are the gateway to Bruny Island and to the Huon Valley. Kettering is a tiny village with a Post Office, a petrol station, a little superette, a new coffee shop AND our well-known chocolate shop, The Nutpatch. We are within walking distance to the ferry to Bruny Island, but before then, there is the Oyster Cove Inn, where you can enjoy a pub lunch/dinner overlooking the marina (closed on Sunday nights). Seawall Cafe is on the marina and we also have a Thai restaurant in Ferry Road, and this is open on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays (at the time of writing) - they serve delicious meals, which you can either eat in or take away. Bruny Island Gateway Cafe is at the ferry terminal and you can grab a coffee or breakfast, while you wait for the ferry. About four kilometres from Kettering, you will find Peppermint Bay in Woodbridge. This is a delightful restaurant on the water - please check their website for opening times. There are plenty of other interesting things to do and see - too much to list here. Contact the host to find out more.
