Barossa Valley Sunday

---

Just got back from our winnery tour of the Barossa Valley and have had the best time drinking lots and lots of wine!
Our tour guide from he Groovy Grape company picked us up really early (about 7.55!) and took us first to the biggest rocking horse in the world - it really was massive. We then went onto a huge dam called 'The Whispering Wall' where one person walks across to one end and the acoustics mean that you can have a conversation with someone like they were right next to you.
After this our tour guide said to everybody 'Right, lets get pissed!" and took us to our first winnery at Jacob's Creek (our wine guide didn't really know anything about the wine process but knew lots of facts he'd obviously got out of a book!). By 11.20 we'd tried samples from 11 different bottles of wines! I was quite worried I'd be all over the place but they provide water and an abundance of bread sticks so our stomachs were kinda lined (although Ben says it was for cleaning the palate)!
We then moved onto Vine Crest winnery where we tried a further 7 wines and onto Richmond Grove to indulge in lots of winnery facts and samples from another 10 bottles!
After lunch we went to Bethany wines and this time only had samples from 4 bottles (boo!) and then a snooze on the bus as we were taken back to our hotel. Surprisingly neither of us feel too sloshed but I guess time will tell. Fingers crossed we're fit and healthy for our flight tomorrow!!!!!
