Couple who lived out of a van build a cellar door in BACKYARD

16.02.2023 от noreenhilliard2 Выкл

A bohemian couple who travelled around in a Kombi van for two years before transforming their dream home without any renovation experience have built a cellar door in their backyard complete with a double decker bus tasting room.

Elise Cook, 28, and her husband Domenic Palumbo set off from South Australia on a ‘van life’ adventure in 2017, running their wine company while on the road.

When they returned they wanted to reconfigure an old green shed they had behind their home into a cellar door so that travellers to the McLaren Vale wine region could come and kombi servisi taste their precious pints.

This was the bus when they originally bought it
And this is what it looks like today

‘This little green shed used to house a tractor — now it’s our white clad Down The Rabbit Hole cellar door bar,’ Elise wrote on Instagram.

‘The first day we stood in it, I could picture it, just as it is now. It feels so amazing to finally see it come to life.’

The pair, along with a handful of friends and family members, built a nook for people to purchase their wines, tables and chairs to sip them on, and a bar for entertaining.

The area has a similar colour scheme to the house they renovated earlier this year

It now has a rustic feel to it, with plenty of recycled timber used

The couple can't wait to open their cellar door in August, pouring drinks from the bar and on the bus

But the highlight of the renovation was that of their large bus, which they drove back from the top of Australia, suffering ‘one large breakdown’ on the way.

‘The last few months we’ve been doing him up to be our wine tasting room. A lot of work has gone on behind the scenes,’ she said.    

‘He’s an open topper, but because we’ll be opening in August, which is quite cool and kombi servisi sometimes a bit wet, we made a removable clear cover for the top (so in summer it’ll be an open rooftop bar!).’ 

Elise and Domenic hosted a number of Aussie social media influencers, including Cartia Mallan, Jade Tunchy, Sammy Robinson and Lisa Danielle Smith, in the bus last week before it officially opened for service, naming the incredible vehicle ‘Lennon’.

The winery is an example of the world-class food and wine South Australia has to offer, all within close proximity to the city. The couple know it’s an easy weekend getaway destination to head in winter so they’ll be officially opening the doors in August.

The Scottish bus, which was originally from Glasgow, had red seats

Now it has benches to sit on inside the extravagant vehicle

Without even checking out the interior, Elise and Domenic bought a house in March 2018 and unknowingly signed up to 24/7 hard labour for three months when they got the keys in September.

'We've never renovated anything before. In fact, we didn't own any tools other than a screwdriver and a hammer until a year into our time on the road,' Elise wrote on their blog

'But we're pretty over the moon with the result. I LOVE this house now. And I love that we've created this together. We've done something I never imagined we'd be capable of'
