A new wine and cocktail venue has quietly opened its doors in Richmond, promoting a taste of local Hawkesbury produce, wine, beer and spirits in a relaxed environment.

Enniskillen Orchard in Town, an extension of the popular Enniskillen Shed in Grose Vale, launched in early January at 179 Windsor Street in the former Mama Yaki premises. Local owners Angela Maguire and Richard Brough from Grose Vale have created a relaxed community social space that champions the region's food and beverage producers.

The menu features a selection of tapas-style share plates and nibbles, including charcuterie boards, bruschetta, sardines, pulled pork sliders, garlic prawns, and Spanish chorizo.

The drinks menu showcases an array of local wines from Jubilee Vineyard and Tizzana Winery, craft beers from Gypsy Fox Brewery, spirits from Karu Gin, and refreshing Hillbilly Cider. Cocktail enthusiasts can sample expertly crafted espresso martinis, Moscow mules, and Morita margaritas. At the same time, pet owners will be pleased to know that well-behaved dogs are welcome in both the front and back courtyards, making it an ideal spot for casual dining with four-legged friends.

The venue operates Thursday evenings from 5-10pm, Fridays 4-10pm, Saturdays 12-10pm, and Sundays 12-4pm. Private events can also be accommodated by arrangement.
