| Beaumont has
music, food, fine art, striking jewellery and Beaumont's
fine wines - does life get any better than this?
Once a year, the Beaumont family welcome guests
to their cellar for Open Day. It's a lazy day (actually
its two days of a weekend!) when the emphasis is
on the art of living with picnics on the lawns,
swimming in the dam, food, wine, music and good
company. |
