Dinner is offered nightly at the exquisite 1830’s French walnut farmhouse table and includes wines from the property’s extensive wine cellar.

Thorn Park on the island has an extensive wine cellar, mainly featuring wines from Kangaroo Island, the Clare Valley and other wine regions; along with French Champagnes.
