📷 Adventures in Travel & Photography (and Wine): The Hunter Valley

Hey Adventurers

Well another busy week has flown past when I did not quite get to everything I wanted to.. but hey at least I know I'm alive..and for the most part healthy :)

Only another week and I'm off on a new adventure - to a brand new country I've never sen.. so that is always exciting.. but really busy during the lead up.. can't wait to start sharing those photos.

When we go on travels we usually do small group adventure tours - I love meeting other likeminded people from around the world.. experiencing the same things us.

On a trip to China a couple of years ago we met a lovely British couple who kept threatening to come to Australia to visit :). After getting married a couple of weeks ago.. they finally made good on that threat so we spent a great day yesterday showing them around one of our beautiful wine regions.

We have a few in Australia that do some awesome wines. Closest to us - just north of Sydney - is the Hunter Valley.

The Hunter Valley is one of Australia's major wine regions, with a viticultural history dating back to the early 1800s. Known for varietals such as Semillon and Shiraz, it’s home to numerous wineries, including world-renowned brands and family-run boutique operations. And it was on the Must Do list for our friends.. so we were happy to oblige! Especially getting the chance to show them one of our favourite organic wineries - Tamburlaine.

Let me start by saying that the day was 46 degrees Celsius - which equates to 114.8 Fahrenheit!!!!! Just a tad warm then!

Now you can imagine what happens wine tasting in that heat :)

Anyway between us all we managed to snap some pics on our phones so I thought I'd share some of them here with you today. Just a quick one.. because I need to pop out and choose which of our lovely new wines to have with dinner :kissing_heart:
