Our August adventure was to Red Feet Winery in the King Valley. After battling heavy rain, we arrived at the cellar door situated on the top of a hill with a magnificent view over the valley had it not been raining!!!
The winery started in 2010, when Megan and her two brothers started planting three rows of Sangiovese and every year have added a few more. Currently, they have 1.2 acres of Sangiovese, 0.6 acres of Nebbiolo, a little Tempranillo and Zinfandel.
Vince was our host for the day and started us with a lovely Riesling ending with a good Shiraz, having tasted a lot more in between!! Although the day was cold and wet, the cellar door (a large lined shed) was very comfortable with a lovely log fire.

We followed this by lunching at the Mountain View/Whitfield hotel which, as always, served a delicious lunch. Again a cosy atmosphere with a log fire and good company making for a very pleasant day.
Next month, Friday 20th September, we are off to Morrisons Winery, 30 Kays Lane, Glenrowan, followed by lunch at the Vintage Hall Café in the main street of Glenrowan.
Meeting in the Senior’s Car Park at 1015 - RSVP to me at [email protected] or text 0428 696 408 by Sunday 16 September.
PS. 2025 As much as I have enjoyed convening these outings and spending time with such a great group of people, I am unable to do so next year. Therefore, I am asking you to consider taking on this position. It would work well with two people. Any questions please contact me. I look forward to being rushed off my feet!!!
