Another wino day in the Barossa Valley.

First stop was the iconic Jacobs Creek vineyard. Wow, what a place, not just wine tasting venue, but a whole day out. Walking through the vineyard viewing the different grapes and tasting them was a stand out.

Each of the wineries is trying to stand apart from the others by coming up with a quirky blend. Today we tasting orange Prosecco, which reminded us both of Aperol Spritz.

Having completed our first tour by 11.30am, we headed to the next at Seppeltsfield, which like Jacobs Creek included a restaurant, shops and design and craft areas. Think big garden centres in the Uk and just replace the plants for wine!

Our third wine tasting stop was at Barossa Valley Estate which has a real instagram feel to it, with stunning manicured gardens in amongst the vineyards.

After a relaxing walk around the gardens, the hard work began with a further 5 reds to try. Despite the effort, they were quickly consumed and Andy is know a fully fledged expert in differing red varieties and blends (well he should be given the amount he’s consumed today).

Our final tasting experience was not of wine, but chocolate and ice cream combinations. White, red, milk and dark chocolates with various gelato flavours. This proved to be a great way to finish the day and regain our taste buds.

Michelle then went to try out more chocolates and the colour combinations that were on offer.

After a day like this, we had no option but to try out the local Barossa Brewery where we were amused to come across our daughter’s left over barrel with Amelia written across it!

Tomorrow we hit the weekend farmers market in Angaston and intend to finish off our tour of the Barrosa Valley and take in a final few vineyards, perhaps with the odd cellar door wine tasting time permitting.
