Recently I went on a little sojourn to Adelaide with three friends to meet up with the awesome Justy and Pips who relocated there from Melbourne exactly one year ago. We had an absolutely delightful extended weekend that involved a whole lot of cheese, a whole lot of wine, and rather more fart jokes than I would have anticipated. It was brilliant fun.
This weekend I thought I would share wine related stamps, and remember the great little holiday we had. We spent one night in the Barossa Valley, (which is depicted on the above stamp) and over two jam-packed days we visited about half-a-dozen wineries in the region. The Barossa Valley is known for its Shiraz and we certainly did a good job of sampling as many different examples as we could.
The Barossa Valley stamp was issued in 1992 as part of a release celebrating Australia's famous wine-producing regions. I haven't been to Margaret River or Coonawarra yet - but after such an enjoyable time taking in the spectacular vineyard views, relaxing by warm fireplaces, sipping on wine and tasting cheese - I think I am definitely going to add these destinations and some more wine-region-touring to my holiday wish-list.
Thanks to my lovely friends for such a relaxing and enjoyable long weekend away!!
(When are we doing it again?)
