The Museum operates as a not-for-profit institution, with a charter to display Australian art from
the second half of the twentieth century to the present day. The Museum is committed to viewing

wine tasting of Rochford’s award-winning cool climate wines – which would otherwise happen in our
Cellar Door. For incentive and team building activities – choose from wine blending and other wine
games, Grape Stomping, Gnocchi Knock Out or ride the Segways for some fun.

learning. This is how we creatively cater for so many returning groups of people that visit us each year.

Rayners fruits
Segway Victoria
Overview
Overview
Rayners are a family owned and operated specialty orchard that grows over 360 varieties of fruit.
With that much choice it means there is hardly a day of the year you can’t indulge in something
delicious that’s been freshly picked from a tree or vine only a moments walk from where you bought
it. Varieties include peaches, nectarines, plums, apricots, tamarillo, pomegranate, persimmon, pepino,
feijoa, guava, kiwi fruit, dutch medlar and various citrus throughout winter. With the option of taking
a daily tractor tour through the orchard seven days a week, to both taste the produce and see the
trees up close, plus magnificent blossom tours from August to mid September you’ll truly feel a part of
this magical countryside.
Incorporate a visit here for your group team building by going on a tractor tour through the orchard,
a wander around the packing shed followed by a tasting amongst the trees. Allow your delegates
to learn some new skills at a fruit preserving and bottling class while also providing a very personal
souvenir of a well thought out conference. Utilise the cafe facilities for meals and snacks from
breakfast through to lunch. Catering to the needs of your group is easily done and only the freshest
of local produce is used. If your supplies need topping up there is a shop on-site selling a large range
