Wine Touring 🥂

Sue from The Wine Wagon picked us up around 10:30, where we met Lorraine and Mal who were joining us today. First drop wines was our first stop, I clearly enjoyed it since I bought 3 bottles here, even with our limited space. Next was Ubertas, a Taiwanese ran vineyard. Our staff member was lovely, asking about travelling with Pup, as she has a poodle back home. Between stops, Sue gave us some background of the local area as we cruised around. Gibson wines was the next stop, it was surprisingly busy. Another lovely spot, although we didn't finish the tasting as we were running short on time to get to lunch. We could hear a bloke at the table over, trying to get a discount if he bought in bulk. A bit of a wanker, but in the end we think he was making a purchase for a venue. Last stop was Kies for lunch, followed by a tasting. The fellas got fish and chips while the ladies got the pies, it was a good feed. We got to know Mal and Lorraine quite well, absolutely lovely people from Perth. We talked about our travels, their kids and grandkids, dog stories and work things of course. They had been on the road for about 3 months and were on their way back home after being in QLD to visit family and looping around the coast. While Lorraine and I did the wine tasting after lunch, Sue ran Mal and Ben to the Ministry of beer where they each got a paddle to try. Pup was being the best boy, as always. He even went for wander with Sue in case he distracted the hearing dog in training that was inside with us. As we got back to our airbnb, we said our goodbyes and well wishes, and we cracked another drink. Honestly, the yard of this airbnb is so nice. We'd already sussed out a pizza place to deliver us dinner and just enjoyed the warmth. It looks like it's going to get quite cool for the back end of the trip. I did head inside to watch the block, then we went back out to start a fire. We don't often do it just for the 2 of us, but it was really nice to just sit and relax in front of, with a few more drinks of course.Read more
