12 seater Bus has been booked and Mrs Tassieoptom has generously offered to drive us around. Itinerary is a fluid thing at this stage but there are some firm booking like a tasting and tour. This will give us a esitmated cost of $75 per person for the transport and tour. Individual vineyards can have a 'loose or firm' policy of costs for tastings, but these are generally complimentary when purchases of wine are made. Lunch is needed but not massive multiple couse meals which may mean we eat tasting plates at the Osteria on the tour. I think that would be lovely and will get confirmation of that today or tomorrow. If so would everyone be happy to pay for what we want and share it out roughly?
Early itinerary
9.00am meet at Gasworks for 9.15 am leaving time.
9.15am drive to Glaetzer-Dixon Urban winery 5mins drive.
9.20am Tasting at Nick's stunning tasting room atatched to his winery in the heart of the CBD.
10.00am Drive 30mins to Shene Estate for 10.30am tour, duration 60-70mins This will be a tour of the Instaworthy estate buildings with the on site distilery which produces Mackey Whiskey and Poltergist Gin. Tour incudes tastings of all they produce.
11.15am Drive 15mins to Stefano Lubiana Winery and Osteria 11.30 tasting, and light lunch 60mins duration
After lunch plan to drive out to the Coal Valley wine region and visit a couple more wineries, there will be the chance for a little more to eat if needed. I will post details of the afternoon plan. I have included some taste tempting pictures below for the morning plan. I will work on finer details for the afternoon shortly. If anyone has any other wishes of a place to visit please let me know.
