North Coast Wine Trail

Posted August 19, 2010

After thoroughly enjoying a bottle of the “Two Tails” Villard Blanc over lunch at the Cheesemaking Workshop, I realized I have neglected some lovely boutique vineyards located literally in my own backyard.  To remedy this situation we are about to embark on a road trip. Over the next four days we will be discovering the vineyards of the “North Coast Wine Trail.”

Whilst I may have completely ignored our local wines, we have spent considerable time in the Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Limestone Coast, and the vineyards of Tasmania, Mudgee and the Hunter Valley.  So we do have a point of references in comparing our home grown varieties, with some of the bigger wine producing areas.

We will be taking four days on our road trip, as there are nine vineyards we intend to visit.  The vineyards are located over the two hundred kilometres stretch between Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie.

The Vineyards on our “Wine Route” are listed below so follow along each day and I will let you know each time I find a nice drop.

Two Tails Wines, Raleigh Vineyard, Sherwood Estate Wines, Cassegrain Wines, Inneslake Vineyards, Douglas Vale Historic Vineyards, Innes View, Long Point Winery, Bago Vineyards.

Have Your Say

I wish I had you for my mum when I was 5!

That cake would have been the talk of the town for the rest of the year - fantastic job.

A lot of your blogs will be interactively design and style that visitor share data to read your blog.

Thank you so much, it is going to be a wonderful surprise for my Mum, I wish everyone a great day with your own special people, those who helped you become who you are today.

Mum definitely deserves the hamper, because she is an amazing woman that has brought up 3 kids through tough times. She is the best mum a son could ask for.

She's had it tough, working hard
deserving much more than just a card
So let's raise a glass and toast her true
The best person in the world - Mum, that's you!

Thanks for the info on Rasa Malaysia's book. I used to visit her website for recipes but some time ago, igot a new PC and forgot to bookmark it!

You're too modest Julie! You did a great job with the cake! :D

Yellow strawberries and cream is just perfect for mum as a reward for putting up with two kids who were a pain in the bum.

I would have loved to have seen those martini glasses! Hope Miss A had a lovely time celebrating turning 5 :D

It shouldn't. It should go to me as whilst trying to make sure my mum, step-mum, MIL, Step-MIL, 3 x Grandmas are spoilt on Mother's Day, I always seem to get forgotten!

My poor old mum is battling to care for my step dad who has advanced Parkinsons. My real dad who has had a stroke still expects her to be there for him, my bro is going bankrupt and she lives two states away from her only gransdon. Her life has little joy- JUst wish for one thing nice to happen to her. We all love our mums, good luck to you all!

Perfect place to relax and forget about all the troubles we have in the city and just unwind ~ can't wait to go to somewhere like this hehe
