What was the question?

Another beautiful day...just right for a trip to the wine country. The Yarra valley is only about a half hour drive from Blackburn where we are staying (east of Melbourne). The cooler climate, due to the higher altitude of the mountains, is well suited for the Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and other white wines, plus Pinot Noir. 

The first winery we visited, Helen's Hill, had a very nice, dry sparkling wine, as well as a clean tasting Pinot Grigio. As you can see from the sign that greets you, they are serious about wine.

We've been lucky to have Wadan, my brother-in-law, volunteer to be our designated driver on our wine tour. Here's a photo of Joan, Wadan, and Virginia at one of the wineries. 

And a few more photos of us at various wineries in the Yarra Valley...Helen's Hill, Oak Ridge, and Punt Road.

Conclusion: A Mellow Day in the Yarra Valley.
