Coming up: four blissful days in Beechworth (Ned Kelly country) for some seriously good food and wine, colonial heritage buildings in golden stone and alpine country air. We'll be sleeping and breakfasting here, noshing here and here. We'll drive rugged country roads to boutique vineyards, lavender-filled parterre gardens, old back-country pubs, pie shops and the mighty Murray River. We'll sip world-famous Rutherglen muscat, tokay, port and durif by open fires. And we'll be drinking the truly best damn wines imaginable. Don't believe me? Jancis loves Beechworth wines too.
Only 5 more sleeps until we go! Like a kid, I've already packed my weekend bag. Rainey and Graham, we'll tell you if we find the vineyard house... maybe something like this?
