wine tour wednesday

It's Wednesday so it must be the wine tour. We set off with yet more beautiful blue skies to the Yarra valley. 
Fantastic scenery.
A glass of fizzy was first up at the Domain Chandon, part of the Moet & Chandon family.
A beautiful farm house greets you as you approach the winery.

As for the wine.....delicious. Fizz is definitely my favouite.
Cheers!
Phil is just the perfect husband and got a few bottles for me.
Owen there's a large parcel coming!!!! 
 
We are also searching for the bottle that matches this cork?
Back on the bus and onto Balgownie Estate and fabulous Sav Blanc and lunch. Gorgeous setting, lovely food and fab wine.


Sorry ate the food before I photographed it.Can you see the Kangaroos in the field under the tree? Zoom in to get a closed look. You may have noticed that they are only sculptures. We haven't seen any real ones yet.

 The next winery was totally different, a tin barn full of character (and wine).


I spotted these on the counter.

Just love bar humour.
Owen,
another parcel on the way!!!
Final stop and I was beginning to flag. The wines were blending into one another.

But here we found a guy who really loved his job and he was so refreshing.
Spot the lions fans.
And check out the empty bottles after the tasting.
Only joking!!! These were a display of how the bottles were riddled(turned) by hand before it was mechanised.There was also a deli attached with local produce.

Yummy chocolate but I resisted..too full of wine.
Here's a couple of views from the restaurant.


And finally I'd like to leave you with this.
