More wine tasting on Day 5, this time to Goaty Hill, a winery which was suggested to us the previous day.
Lovely vineyard but I didn’t personally like the taste of their wines.
We dropped in to the Tamar Ridge winery next door, a much larger winery with a much more humble wine tasting room but this guy knew his wines and damn the wines were good. We bought boxes full at this place.
One of many painted cows at the Ashgrove Cheese factory.
Cheese!
We bought a whole lot of tasting packs, most of us agreed their wasabi cheese was the winner.
Despite being full on cheese we still made it to etc. cafe for a pie. We spotted this in the car park.
Suga and I at a raspberry farm, which was our next stop.
And our last stop was the House of Anvers chocolate factory. At this stage we were jst too full to enjoy the chocolate on offer haha.
Later that night i was suggested that we try Tasmania’s best Chinese Restaurant, which had won awards for the land’s best wine list.
Flaming bombe alaska.
Being Chinese. Christina and I had reservations about how good the food was going to be. What made it even trickier was that we settled for the banquet, and as we expected, they served up food aimed primarily at an Australian audience. Using fresh Tasmanian ingredients but cooking them with some traditional Chinese flavours. I could see what they were trying to do but in my books they failed miserably (overcooking the scallops and salmon was a real shame). In any case we had a blast and lots of laughs (as well as great wine!).
