I thought I had finished writing about my Taste Great Southern trip earlier in the month, but alas something kept niggling me to write about the Hybla Tavern on Middleton Beach in Albany. It definitely surprised me, that’s safe to say!
Yep, we did manage to get to 3 wineries within the first few hours of being in the Great Southern! After visiting Gilberts, then Galafrey we had lunch with a friend in Mt Barker who said we must stop into West Cape Howe Wines on our way down to Albany. It was a little bit…
