Host with the most: Cranes winemaker Bernie Cooper at the barbecue<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"South<\/a>October 3, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some people say the long, lazy lunch died in the 1990s. And that may be true – but only in the cities.<\/p>\n

In the South Burnett, the long, lazy lunch proudly lives on.<\/p>\n

And during the South Burnett-Cherbourg On Show<\/strong><\/a> long weekend, you can relive one if your idea of a really relaxing weekend is having a long lazy barbecue with friends (and zero washing up afterwards!)<\/p>\n

On Saturday, October 4 and Sunday, October 5, Cranes Winery will be hosting the ultimate in relaxed barbecues at their recently-expanded cellar door at Booie, at small mountain range located 9km north-east of Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

Between 10:00am and 4:00pm on both days, Cranes will be firing up the barbecues for their annual Big Booie BBQ and cooking up gourmet burgers and sausages for the kids, along with hand-made condiments produced from local ingredients, while guests lean back and take in the winery’s sweeping views across the rich red and black soil farmlands east of Kingaroy..<\/p>\n

There’ll also be live music throughout the day from popular entertainer Guy Davis, as well as Crane’s award-winning wines and great mixed platters.<\/p>\n

And as a special treat for wine lovers, this weekend they’ll also be launching their just-released 2012 Chardonnay; their 2013 Reserve Cabernet; and their 2014 Vintage Liquer Port.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cranes’ margaritas and soft drinks will also be availble for those who prefer non-wine options – and admission is completely free (though no BYO food or drinks are allowed).<\/p>\n

Last year Cranes added a large, all-weather extension to their cellar door, so the Big Booie BBQ will run rain or shine.<\/p>\n

But if it’s sunny and you’d like to picnic on the lawns, you’re very welcome to do so providing you bring along your own blankets or chairs, hats or umbrellas.<\/p>\n

Why? Because the winery’s own chairs, tables and under-cover seating will likely be full.<\/p>\n

And if you want to stay on-site or nearby after the party winds down, you can either book a stay in the winery’s on-site B&B or at Deshon’s Retreat (located next door to the winery) if Cranes is full.<\/p>\n

Crane Winery’s Big Booie BBQ was well attended last year; this year it will run on Saturday and Sunday, October 4-5 and visitors will be able to enjoy the new deck extensions at the cellardoor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
