Edition 55 – November 2009
O'REILLY'S VINEYARD IS QUEENSLAND'S BEST!
We're Queensland's best! O'Reilly's Canungra Valley Vineyards were voted the BEST Tourism Winery, Distillery or Boutique Brewery at the Queensland Tourism Awards on Friday night.
Shane O'Reilly proudly accepted the award, with a touching speech reflecting what an honour it was to be recognised, especially after the recent hardship of the flood, and acknowledged members. He also acknowledged that this was a fantastic win for the Southern Queensland Wine Industry as a whole.
O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat was also a Finalist in the Steve Irwin Ecotourism Award and the Mountain Villas and Lost World Spa were Finalists in the New Tourism Development category, so it was a fantastic night for celebrations.
Make sure you pop out and help us celebrate at your award-winning vineyard!

10th BIRTHDAY PARTY
Happy birthday to us! Thanks to all our members who helped us celebrate a milestone as the Vineyard celebrated it's 10th birthday on Saturday, 10.10.09.
It was a fantastic family fun day with a ping pong regatta in the creek, roving reptiles, tractor rides, face painting, local produce tasting, a live band, plus of course plenty of good food and great wine. Cheers!
Check out our Photo Gallery from the day.
AND THEY'RE OFF!
After the success of our ping pong regatta at the 10th Birthday Celebrations, we have held more races in the creek over the past few weekends. It's no Melbourne Cup (yet!), but it's great fun and gets all the family involved (plus, you won't lose your shirt or end up with carrot in your fascinator...).
CHRISTMAS OPENING HOURS
The Vineyard will be closed for Christmas Day and Boxing Day, however will be open every other day between 10:00am - 4:30pm.
On behalf of the O'Reilly family and CVV staff, we wish our member's and families a happy and safe Christmas, and all the best for the New Year. Cheers!
