DRINK: True to its name Smiling Samoyed Brewery in Myponga is home to excellent local beers and a few smiling furry faces. The business was established in 2012 by husband and wife Simon Dunstone and Kate Henning. The tale is one of unbridled passion, and an equally driven love for their pups. The business is positively endorsed by locals, so drop by and taste-test the ’12 Paws’ Pale Ale to experience an award-winning beer. Enjoy the relaxed ambience overlooking the picturesque reservoir while the kids enjoy the playground.. As you wind your way through the picturesque hills outside of Yankalilla, you’ll stumble across the hidden gem that is Allusion Wines. Enjoy a delicious platter on the deck overlooking the valley, complemented by a fine selection of wine. The impressive view expands all the way down to the ocean. >
