Our first outing for the year, 32 of us ventured forth to Squires Winery at Esmond outside of Yarrawonga. Situated on the banks of the Ovens River, tables are set out under the gum trees on the lawn or on the raised deck, as well as, long tables inside which was where we enjoyed our wine tasting and fabulous lunch. Paul Squires has a laid back attitude to wines and life and with a sense of humour made the day relaxing and very enjoyable for us all. They have only been open for three years and the tasting room/restaurant is in Paul’s converted tractor shed! The wines vary from Prosecco to Reserve Durif and in Paul’s words ‘ they are not snobby wines, just wines to be enjoyed’. It was great to see many new faces in the group.
Next month, 15th March, we are off to de Bortoli’s Wines, 13-35 Drummond Street, Rutherglen and lunch at the Pickled Sisters cafe, 121 Main Street, Rutherglen. There will be $10 tasting charge and 10% discount on purchases.
As usual I will need RSVPs by Sunday 10th March by email or text to 0428 696 408 please.
We will meet in the Seniors Car park at 10.00am.
