sparkling wine and vineries

its midsem break and who spends midsem break just working and studying? certainly not me, eh?
thank god. *phew

so anyway we decided to have a day trip coz our previously planned trip to the penguin island aka phillips island failed.
wed night, scratch that, thursday morning was spent downloading maps and searching for routes at josh's.
went home and slept for a few hours when woke up to make breakfast for the boys! omg, i feel like a mum -_-

and no mum jokes from ANY of you or heads will roll.

so, one and a half hours of driving and we reached our destination:

YARRA VALLEY WINERIES

we visited 4 vineries: warramate, oakridge, chandon and du bortoli.

taken outside chandon.. chandon's a really scenic

i'm thinking this was outside oakridge though i'm not quite sure

also outside chandon.. love the flowers... they're.. so colourful..

this one, i totally forgot where it was taken.. outside some winyard.. but hey, give me a break. lolz all the vineries look EXACTLY the same.. maybe warramate..

josh at chandon. look at the wines behind him! mmmm.

outside chandon again. most pictures were taken there coz it's rather tourist orientated and therefore, they provide LOADS of place for camwhoring (;

badger creek or something to that effect... the vinery wasn't opened though. josh trying to act cool here. lolz

anyway, the photos aren't chronologically ordered.. we went warramate, then oakridge where we had some lunch (sorry, no pics.. both des and i forgot to charge our cams.. lolz), chandon where we spent most of the day then finally du bortoli where we bought the best wine of the day from (;

there are quite a few photos but they're pretty much variations of the same pictures. may upload more later on (;

anyway, headed back to chadstone for dinner and rush hour 3.
btw, stardust was superb! lived up to my expectations although it has NOTHING to do with snow white. lolz

anyway, i'll sign off with some pictures of scenery taken on our way up..

may the force be with vineyards,
cheers~
