Last few weeks before we leave and finally the B & B is slowing down a little, so time to do all those jobs around the house.... luckily before we could start we were rescued by the offer of a trip up to the Hunter Valley for wine tasting.
Linda and Leonie, two other B & B owners, plus a couple of sisters from UK and a honeymoon couple from Melbourne, Roger and I set off at 8.00am for day's outing.
First stop - Bubbly at Petersens!
Love the wonderful settings and architecture of vineyards. The view from Audrey Wilkinson's has to be the best!
Roberts, my favourite Hunter Valley restaurant, grows all of its veggies on site and has all local Hunter Valley wines. The blackboard is updated to show what is growing where, and you can wander outside to see all the chickens and the veggie patch. The menu is updated regularly to make the most of what is in season. The service is superb. Did I say that I LOVE this restaurant!
Another favourite is Tyrells, one of the oldest wineries, though by this time we were more interested in the old Boab tree and slab hut than in tasting more wine!
Peppertree, next to Roberts really is one of the prettiest...and the wine's pretty good too!
