Yoga In The Vines (Copy)
We're thrilled to announce that Belinda Firmstone of Return to Earth Yoga will be holding ongoing yoga classes at Lyons Will Estate on the first Sunday of the month, every second month.
Belinda founded Return to Earth after she completed her 500-hour teacher training on the beautiful Sunshine Coast. Following this training, she went on to study Japanese yoga with Peter Masters in Sydney and then undertook a mentorship with Judith Hanson Lasater in Restorative Yoga - which took her to San Francisco and Iceland. Belinda believes yoga is accessible to all, and for her it acts as a nice segue to her other favourite things: good food and wine. When she is not on the yoga mat, she can be found in the winery regions of Victoria or on the running tracks of Melbourne.

FETE DE LA FLEUR AT LYONS WILL ESTATE
With its origins in Bordeaux, Fete de la Fleur is a celebration of flowering in the vineyard. What happens within the vines during flowering dictates the harvest ahead and it’s a time of year worth revelling in.
Lorena Corso will be cooking a Sicilian barbecue in the courtyard. Think crusty bread filled with Sicilian sausages made to Lorena's own recipe, Lyons Will grown lamb, smoky roasted eggplant, generous shared vegetable dishes and of course Lorena’s inimitable pickles. We’ll have live music to take you through the day, so trust us when we say, there won't be a better deck in the Macedon Ranges to enjoy a chilled glass of Rose that weekend.
Tickets: $60 per person. Via OpenTable.
