wining and dining – lunch at De Bortoli winery

Posted in Victoria, Yarra Valley, drink, food, travel, wine, wineries on August 20th, 2007

One of the relaxing things I did on the weekend was to drive to the Yarra Valley and taste some wonderful wines at various wineries, including De Bortoli. My girlfriend and I enjoyed their Pinot Noir and had lunch at their restaurant, which was delicious. Below is the pork sausage with gratin of silverbeet and parmesan, and celeriac and potato pureee. I recommend a visit.
