We now have a date.

Rockford can accommodate us on Sunday 2nd April, 10:00 - 12:30 in the Barrel Room as per previous visits.
With good rain over winter and a mild ripening season, vintage is off to a later start this year so there should be quite a bit going on at the winery when we visit.

The next step is to find another venue for lunch and tasting.
After that we can put a costing together and tickets will go on sale.

Stay tuned.

So we could fly SYD - ADL together on Saturday morning after Wozza's 21st Buzz

Platinum x 2
First weekend of Qld school hols, might bring the kidlet along to ADL, but will arrange babysitting for her for Sunday. (She is no longer as cute and whinges more than when we toured Champagne with her 6 years ago!!)

That's my conundrum as well, together with a promised (school holiday) trip to Wiseman's Ferry to see a cousin and her family. I'm an uncertain, as I doubt I can afford all 3...

The 2nd wouldn't have been my first choice, but I can probably still make it work.

I am almost certainly coming from SIN, although I see SQ279 has seats "up front" on the requisite date.

Buzz - I am keen, will work it out and advise if Plat, Gold or Copper shortly.

I am still working through my travel dilemmas. I am definitely Bronze for Wozza's birthday, and very much Copper / Standby for this one.

ALH is now a non starter. I am however a solid Gold plated platinum, and why wouldn't I be?

The wiki has been updated accordingly to show 7 free spots, barring any attendees Buzzard has arranged on the side of course.

Shame you cannot make it KitKat.

The BP should be available cellar door by then but essentially that is up to Rockford.
For those attending the tour I have always asked that BP be made available and to date it always has been.

Re: Return to Rockford - April 2017

Would love to come to this event Buzz, but I'm afraid that the meds I am on produce some difficult side effects, so I'll be copper like penegal.
