Wine Tour in Barossa Valley

A Christmas themed wine tour in Barossa Valley was beautiful.   Felt very unchristmassy even though we were all dressed in something festive!  Our first stop  was at Peter Lehmans at 10:20am and as we were paying $5 for the tasting, we decided to do the full tasting.  It was a first for me to be a bit tipsy before 11am!

 

I think that many of my friends in the UK would love the idea of chocolate for wine!  What a brilliant idea - many people's 2 favouirite things made to go together!

 Maggie Beer is a famous Aussie chef - she has a place in the Barossa where you can taste some of the foods and wine.  It's set by this beautiful lake which had turtles in.  They were so cute, kept coming up to the surface to see if anyone was offering any nibbles.
 At the Whispering Wall, I was quite tickled with the people walking across the damn in Christmas gear in the bright sunshine.  The wall is really interesting, if you go over to the other side and the wall and whisper, people left at the beginning of the wall can hear you clear as day!

On the return journey there was someone else who couldn't take it again and had to have a little nap.  To be honest, I probably would have had a sleep as the bus was pretty warm - I just didn't want my picture published on the internet!
