Our large, genteel group of 20 was greeted by Sideen, Cellar Door Manager, and then ushered through the cellar doors into the warm and welcoming tasting room, where we perched on stools set around old wine barrels. As we were keen to learn about and appreciate the wines grown and produced here, we welcomed tastings of each variety, discovering which were our favourites. Sue, the Wine Club Manager, was on hand to assist and advise. Purchases were carried back to the cars, to be consumed at leisure.

Food and Wine are a suitable pairing, so a short drive to the Pickled Sisters restaurant at Cofield Winery was an appropriate follow on. Two long tables accommodated our group, for a long, relaxing a la carte lunch, accompanied by local wines.
Thanks to Keith and Heather, our hard-working convenors, U3A members enjoyed yet another Wine Appreciation outing.
* Next month’s visit: To Be Advised. Hopefully, it will be Longleat Winery at Murchison. To confirm this and book your place, please contact convenors Keith & Heather Rogers 5762 4086 closer to the date.
