Wine country, again. Highlight of the trip - Roberts restaurant (www.robertsrestaurant.com), a gorgeous little cottage so covered in vines it’s difficult to find the entrance. The tiny wooden entrance opens out to an extended glass room backing onto a gorgeous garden. It’s truly sublime. Unlike England, they’re very relaxed about the kids just wandering around outside whilst waiting for their food.
Just across the path is Pepper Tree Wines, which may well have won more than 500 medals for its wine but, unusually, we didn’t find anything that tickled our fancy. Maybe that was because we’d just been so spoiled over lunch.
Two final stops. First at Tyrells where a 75cl of port costs $15 or a 10 litre bottle costs $85. Figuring we’ve got a good block of time coming up where we going to be with friends, we opt for the latter. Final stop of the day is the Blue Tongue brewery where Will can stock up on his currently favourite beer.
Our apartment for the night at Pokolbin Chateau (sadly not a chateau at all) affords us not only stunning sunset views across lakes, but also provides us with our own little family of wild kangaroos who hop by for a nibble of our lawn. What a lovely day.
