We recently visited Basils Farm for a winery lunch here on the Bellarine Peninsula – and we loved it! So much in fact that I just had to write a blog post. Social media posts, just don’t do it justice. If you are a regular reader of my blog, then you will probably know that…
We recently tried our first BAIE wines from here in the Bellarine Peninsula. They had an epic Christmas sale on and I just couldn’t resist. BAIE is a small batch family owned, operated and ‘orientated’ winery. The BAIE vineyard was established in 2000 and they started their own label in 2006. The climate here is…

It’s time to pop the Prosecco! Firstly a big thanks to Good Pair Days for introducing me to this bubbly little number in the recent sample pack they sent me. I love getting to know new wine brands.
