A couple of weeks ago JoJo went out with her Peer Support group for a good part of a Saturday...
so we thought we'd visit a Winery not too far away from us for lunch...
The Winery being Cuppitt's ...here is a view through the sweetest little window from the old Creamery now Tasting Room...
But first things first...breakfast...Here is Mr Armchair's (a new name for Hubby given to him by Fer, thanks Jen...I love it)
And a nice hearty brekky for me too!!!
Upon arrival at the Winery we happened upon Ben (one of Chefs there) in the vegie patch...
to the right of the vegie patch follow the path and turn right for the Old Creamery which is now a Tasting Room...
turn left for this setting...
across from the Tasting Room...
through this door for the tasting...
continuing down and turning left is the Restaurant with a lake in front...
view towards the right...see how the vines are grown acrossways...something which is also often done in France, as we were told...
The country side at the moment is just so green and luscious...
Rosie Cupitt, the winemaker, has studied at Charles Sturt University and has more than a decade of vintage experience including vintages in France and liasons with Italian winemakers to further her wine knowledge. Her philosophy with the wines is to make wines that go well with food and to let the grapes dictate the final wine style with each variety.
Unfortunately all booked out for lunch...but we were made very welcome by the staff there...There are 3 French Waiters here and one of them offered to take a photo of us here...
Menu for Dessert...
View from inside the Restaurant...
Outside scenes...
We were shown the grapes and some equipment outside by our Host...
And of course we had to have a taste...seeing we couldn't get in for lunch this time we took some bottles back home with us...
and vowed to return again when we can get some respite care for JoJo!!!
It was a great day...beautiful views...great menu...and very helpful staff...
and we'll be back soon!!!

I have tasted your Aussie wine all the way up here and it is indeed very nice. Coming from an area abundant with wineries there is a great deal of beauty to behold in each and every aspect of the vineyards...

And I enjoyed the visit too.
It's stunning Dzintra! You'd think you were in France. The blackboard menus made my mouth water. Ann :-)
A lovely post, Dzintra. Looks like a wonderful vinyard and restaurant to visit.
What a darling couple you are! I love that skirt with the ruffled hem, very flirty :D
Now I know what you look like, I don´t think I had seen a picture of you before, it is nice to know what you look like.

Mr Armchair ... I love it! What a perfect name! I wonder if Fer would figure out a name for mine too... (;
What a great place Dzintra! If I ever get to Australia, I need to go there! I love the views, the ambiance and the vege garden!
And what a handsome couple you are!!! I could really use a day to do just what you two did... if only we could find some time... xxxVicki
