Hunter Winery Tour



I never thought I would agree on going for a winery tour judging from the fact that I have absolute zero tolerance to alcohol. But it doesn't hurt to go for an eye-opening experience, moreover the trip only cost around AUD17 with both transport and lunch provided.

Our first stop - Tempus Two Cellar
Can't resist the lovely picturesque scenery
Lurve the corridors
A cool landmark that greeted us right at the entrance
Ready for some wine tasting gurls?
KAMPAI!~

Noticed my blushed face? I only had a few sips 'n' nips.
Told you I had zero tolerance XD

Another one of my blushed face. XP
JL can't resist cuddling the bottle-shaped furnishing
Out in the open again, to have the cool breeze restore me back to normal
Me and ever-so-cutie JL in baby shades of pink

A wine truck beside a Cheezie factory.. Weird huh?
Nah.. there's actually a liquor factory
Tasted some fine cheese at the factory.. including cheddar, feta, soft cheese, goat milk cheese and blue cheese.. A piece of advice though, dun try blue cheese if you're going for a date. It'll scare your date away.

Lucky. The lovely attention-seeking golden retriever that can't resist to have everyone scratch his head (Wonder if it has fleas), but it doesn't seem to like photo-taking no matter how hard JL tried. Alas, when we gave up, Lucky went like this..
*stick tongue out* Fat chance you're taking any photos with me.. I'm too good to be in any photos..
Got kinda numb after smiling for so many photos.. By the way, each barrels of wine costs about AUD25K.. or was it 250K? Blek.. never mind. Alcohol do give some effects of short memory span
Nice sunny day
Nice sunny day with me in it~ XD
A peculiar tree with exceptionally broad barrel-like trunk
Cam-whoring on the bus before we head to the garden for some yummy lunch..
Um um.. I'm starving~!
Milk maids HM and MK
JL can't resist cuddly teddy bears.
Even I can't resist the temptation to cuddle one myself
Huh? Why MK posing liddat? Is she calling for someone?
Yeap. She's calling for me to join her in this photo shoot.

Peach Sparkling Wine- The one juz right for me. Wonder why? Coz it has only 5.5% of alcohol
Golden Tango Cream - also called "Love in a Bottle"
Almost like bailey with a combination of caramel and coconut

Our last drink- Chili Schnapps
Quite a peculiar drink.. Oh okay, it's just weird~!!
Do I really need to finish the whole glass in one gulp?
An expensive exquisite water bottle

A final photo of us at the last winery for the day


All in all, the whole tour was really an eye-opener; however, it would be great if the stops between the three different wineries hadn't been so time-consuming. According to JL (who was laughing non-stop as she was telling me this), I was so exhausted at the end of the trip that I was practically sleeping with my mouth wide open. Plus my deepest apologies to MK for using her shoulder as my head rest for the whole journey. Guess I really had fun~ It's a worthwhile trip after all.
