Country in Canterbury...

 

 

it's just like a trip to the country...down memory lane.

Delwhinnie Wines

On the holidays we stopped at this picturesque winery, the views were stunning.

Seppelts Winery...a visit to Great Western.

The old homestead at the Seppelts property.

We went on a tour of the underground drives....

There are over 2 km of tunnels burried under the winery
and its pretty much full of aging wine and old french mould.

The crest of honour.

Certain dignitaries have private vaults to hold their collections,
 this one belonged to Malcom Fraser.

So many different tunnels and features all butied in an underground warren.

Apparently Dame Nellie Melba had a bath in Shiraz...
somewhere in this private lair, back in the day.

The old French method of making sparkling wine.

The off limits museum with limited editions of all the vintages.
Practically no one gets to enter in here.

We tasted lots of wines at the end and finished on a big note with the $100.00 bottle shiraz.

The Servants' Quarters.....

The main house.

The Servants Quarters

We had a deltightful alfresco meal

Just delicious.

So relaxed....such a lovely time.
