Don’t you love being in the right place at the right time? Well thank-fully for me, some good friends just so happened to stumble across the official opening of the newly renovated Windy Creek Estate cellar door in the Swan Valley on Sunday 19th of March 2017 and sent me a message to let me know.
As 2016 draws to a close, it’s time to look in the wine cellar and consider what’s in-store for the Travelling Corkscrew in 2017. This past year has involved a fair share of wine (no surprise there), wine travel and of course one of the biggest events for the TC – the Mr. & Mrs…

Visiting Pandemonium has been on my to do since they opened their doors in November 2015. I am so glad to have gone out there recently as we had such a wonderful afternoon and really struggled to leave!
