Looking for something different to do this Memorial Day weekend? Go ‘Down Under’ and explore Australian and New Zealand food and wine this Sunday at Hacienda del Sol. Sample over 30 wines and food from that diverse area prepared on Hacienda del Sol’s new outdoor parrilla.

Foods from these island nations are driven by local ingredients from both the land and sea. While you won’t find kangaroo on the menu, some traditional items, like yabbies, an Australian freshwater crustacean, will be.

A few of the many Australian and New Zealand wineries represented include Cloudy Bay, D’Arnebeg , Greg Norman, Kim Crawford, Molly Dooker, Wild Berry Estate, and Yalumba Mencies.

Music will be provided by Connie Brannock & Little House of Funk bringing their ‘Cactus Country Soul, Rhythm, Jazz & Blues’ to the dance floor.

In addition, Hacienda del Sol is offering a special package for $149 per night from May 27 through May 30.

“Opening this place feels a little surreal. To now have a space where we can bring together coffee, food, art, booze, and all the weird things we love feels like a reflection of how far we’ve come.” —Tyler Melo
