As most of you are aware, I recently teamed up with the good folk from Explore Tours Perth to run a ‘Travelling Corkscrew Wine Appreciation Tour’ of the Swan Valley.

I know this post is well overdue seeing as Taste of Perth was last month but time just flies when you’re tasting wine every night right. Haha you all know what I mean! So Taste of Perth. In 2014 I raved about how I boycotted the foodie festival due to long lines and well heck I’m…

When I was a kid I LOVED Easter, the hunt, the chocolate, the hot cross buns and family time. Easter Sundays were all about the Easter Bunny visiting the house, and if my brothers…
I know you’re all going to find this unbelievable but yesterday I went to my very first High Tea. And let’s just say I am now a High Tea convert! Well, a ‘Sparkling High Tea’ convert. It’s no secret that wine is more my thing than tea.
