• Pampered at Pizzinis.

    June 30, 2023 in Australia

    Our 2022 Christmas present from the Coles was the 'Overnight Food and Wine Escape' at Pizzini Wines. It comprised a tutored wine tasting, lunch platters, dinner and accommodation. It was a most enjoyable weekend.

    Below is the review I wrote on trip adviser.

    A true gourmet experience.

    Our daughter bought us the 'overnight food and wine escape'. We stayed Friday 30th June. Our private tutored wine tasting was booked for midday. On arrival we were greeted with “prepare to be pampered”, and boy were we pampered!
    We were taken on a marvellous tasting journey through the Pizzini wine portfolio for over an hour followed by two platters - one cheese, one meat - accompanied by a glass of wine of our choice.
    Our accommodation was at the Mountain View Hotel in Whitfield - a very comfortable king room. Dinner was in the hotel dining room.
    Just when we thought things couldn't get any better, they did!
    We experienced as good a meal as we've ever had - four courses with matched wines. None of our food courses were on the menu - they were prepared especially for us and they were all exquisite.
    Each course and wine were presented and explained most professionally. Our young waitress, Jemma, was knowledgable beyond her years about the wines and was obviously very passionate about her role. She explained that Pizzinis provide lots of training - it shows.
    Breakfast was continental, supplied in the room.
    A most enjoyable experience!
    If you want to buy someone a very special present, you won't do better than this.
