Today was a Scheduled, Part of our Holiday Package, Outing. The Barossa Valley is said to be one of the World's Great Wine Regions, famous for it's Bold Red Wines and Rich Wine making Heritage.
First Stop was Chateau Tanunda.
Built in 1890, abandoned in the 1980s and beautifully restored in 1998 she stands magnificently amongst green lawns and Vines, some of which were planted, before the Chateau was built in 1850.
I was fascinated by the beauty of the Architecture and started taking Photos of anything and everything that caught my Artistic Eye.
This led to a conversation about Photography and on learning that DH and I actually don't drink and wouldn't be participating in the Wine Tasting
Our Hostess promptly gave us a short Private Tour of the Private (Locked) Wine Cellars -
So I could get some Awesome Photos!
I was Honoured to be given such a wonderful opportunity and took full advantage of the time.
We were even allowed
"Beyond the Velvet Rope" to enjoy
'The Best View' of the Cellar Floor.
I have no doubt that the Wines were beautiful - Their Hospitality was certainly phenomenal and the others in the Group were adequately Impressed.
Next Stop....
That's great!
