Happy 20th birthday Bay of Fires Wines! I was kindly sent this sample bottle to help celebrate the Bay of Fires 20th vintage recently. Last year we actually visited the Bay of Fires cellar door in the Tamar Valley near Launceston in Tasmania. In fact I still have a few bottles I bought at the…
My fellow Chardy lovers, listen up. I was recently sent this sample (thank you) of the the Bay of Fires 2019 Chardonnay from Tassie and it’s bloody delicious!
We visited the Velo Wines cellar door on our trip to Tassie in April. Velo are located in the Tamar Valley, just out of Launceston in northern Tasmania. We actually popped in twice, as we wanted to drop off our box of wine to send back to Gippsland, although this was going to cost more…

One thing that really stood out to me on our visit to Tasmania last month was the quality of the Rosé. For me, my palate just seemed to adore it. It was like I was tasting Rosé for the first time. As Tassie is Pinot Noir country, we found that many of the local rosés…
The Tasmanian wine adventures continue! The thing I was most excited about Tasmania was the sparkling wine. As some of you may know, I am a bit of a bubbles girl who doesn’t need an excuse to drink the good stuff. Don’t worry there will be a big blog post on the 20+ cellar doors…
Did you know my absolute favourite time of the year for wine travel is autumn? Do yourself a favour and book in something for next year. Once you see the vineyards with all their beautiful yellow, orange and red leaves, you’ll understand why I love it 🙂
