Clare Valley

Went for another road trip on Wednesday to the Clare Valley, another wine producing region in South Australia and bought more wine!! hahaha... It was very fun with breathtaking views from some lookout points.

Taylor's winery, looks like a castle!

George, the resident dog at O'Leary Walker wines Look at all the barrels of wines! Nice Autumn leavesUs infront of the sevenhill church which is one of the oldest wineries around that was started by Jesuit priests and still makes sacramental wine today.

Us at the spring gully lookout

The breathtaking view from Spring Gully lookout

Look what we found in the bushes! hahaha

The view from Quarry Hill lookout

The haul!

Road Trip!

Went to McLaren Vale again today with the Singapore Association people to taste wines and visit a lavender farm where they showed us how they distilled the essential oils from lavender.. It takes flowers from 35 bushes just to distill a small bottle of lavender oil! Drove a minibus there and the engine was so weak.. You could hear the engine groaning and straining when going up slopes.. I could only go 60 in a 100 zone.. Can't wait till I have my own car..

Look at the nice rolling hills with all the grape vines... and look how brown everything is because of the drought.. Tasted some excellent wines and bought some to add to my little wine collection.. haha...
So everyone do drop by Adelaide! There's lots to do and see!!
