Visit Australian Wineries
If you are anything like your resident blogger, you might enjoy a nice glass of wine or two. I love Australian wine and I find myself choosing it more than any other. In fact, some of my favorite brands have vineyards all across Australia. With the price of airfare rising and the amount of flights being canceled increasing, I think a road trip to a few different vineyards sounds like a fantastic way to spend a weekend. Usually, one can visit wineries, participate in complimentary tastings, and walk away with a great, inexpensive bottle.
For instance, the original Penfolds winery is found in the Adelaide region on the Magill Estate. The original Shiraz vines were planted here over 55 years ago.
Australia’s only family-owned winery is Yalumba, a staple in Australian wine for the last 150 years. The winery takes a holistic approach to their wine practices and focuses on environmental preservation.
Yellow Tail Wines are synonymous with great flavor as well as great value. The 540-acre vineyard is located in the Riverina, Griffith region of Australia. The brand is most often recognized by the Yellow-footed Rock Wallaby on the label.
There are tons of other wineries in Australia, and this post just names a few. Get out there, do some exploring, and visit some of these wineries. It’s a great way to spend a day or two, and is usually a very value-savvy adventure.
