Taste the Wine
This may seem like a completely obvious attraction at a winery, but it’s most likely your favourite activity to do. Wineries let you quench your thirst with style, as staff showcase their wide range of reds, whites, pinks, and sparkling on offer. The wineries themselves are beautifully designed, giving you enchanting views of the countryside surrounds as you sip on your rich shiraz cabernet or bubbly prosecco. Try as many varieties as you can and if you choose a favourite you can buy a case for your family and friends…or just for yourself!
Learn about the Winemaking Process
One of the best things about visiting wineries is that you can actually learn about how each wine is made. The professional staff have vast knowledge and have actually help in the production of the wine you are drinking, knowing each step until the end result. They can help you note the different aromas and flavours in each drop, telling you why they have put these certain flavours into the wine. This can also help you match your food with the wine, with staff informing you of the key flavours which may match with different meats or sweets.
Enjoy Lunch or Dinner
Ask any winemaker and they’ll tell you complimenting food will make your wine taste even better. With certain flavours enhances the notes of wine to an even greater extent. Majority of the wineries in Australia have attached restaurants to do just this. With chefs using locally sourced produce to create everchanging a menu depending on the season. These restaurants can vary from small quaint establishments to large five-star resorts.
Discover the surrounding nature
One of the best aspects of wineries is that they always smack bang in the middle of stunning scenery. A smorgasbord of vineyards, farm fields, and lush bushland, you can discover the incredible greenery and wildlife that these countryside regions promise. Take a walk before or after visiting the wineries and breath in that fresh countryside air.
