Last Saturday, Anthony and I went on a tour of 4 wineries in the Yarra Valley, about an hour away. There were 25 of us on a bus for the day. It was a neat way for us to see the wine country, especially since we don't have a car.
The first winery we stopped at was Yering Farm. It was actually an old farmhouse turned into a winery. They were holding an event that day, so they had banners around that said, "Drink, drive, bloody idiot". It was a really funny banner that I still don't quite understand.
The second winery we went to was called Rochford. After our tasting, we ate lunch there, which was delicious! It turned out to be a really beautiful day.
The third winery we went to was called Yering Station. This was probably the most beautiful of all the wineries. We took quite a few pictures here.
I loved all the senery here. It was so beautiful!
The last winery we visited for the day was Domaine Chandon. They are famous for their sparkling wine. It turns out there are actually 4 Domaine Chandons around the world - each in a region noted for growing quality sparkling wine grapes. One of the other locations is in the Napa valley, which we have actually been to! We took a tour and learned the differences in how they make sparkling wine. It was really interesting.
After our tour, we had some bread with a chutney spread and cheese with our glass of sparkling wine. It was a nice end to the day.
Domaine Chandon was a really beautiful place as well - we got a few nice pictures here too.
The sun was peaking through the clouds on our way home and I was able to get a picture - I think it turned out really cool :)
