Let your Wine Compass guide you
Let your Wine Compass guide you
Pimpernel Vineyards If there are 2 things the Yarra Valley has in spades, it’s beautiful wine and great food. Not to mention gorgeous scenery and the fact that it’s only an hour out of Melbourne. The only issues are: how to choose where to go with so many options, and getting safely home after you’ve indulged in all the things. And that’s where Wine Compass comes in. I was recently invited on a…

Lady Carolina still likes to party
Lady Carolina still likes to party
Lady Carolina in Lygon St, East Brunswick, opened to much fanfare last September, with Latin-food loving chef Paul Wilson at the helm. The food was bloody awesome, and the décor was gorgeous, and included an Astroturf backyard complete with a bright, colourful bar and beach seats backing onto a garden full of banana palms. Less than 12 months later it’s changed hands, but there’s no cause for…

Winton Wetlands
A spectacular place to visit for nature lovers and photographers, The Winton Wetlands are situated in Winton North, just over two hours north east of Melbourne. The nearest towns are Glenrowan, Benalla and Wangaratta. Glenrowan is rich in bushranger history, as the site of Ned Kelly’s last stand, and also home to some fantastic wineries. Wangaratta offers city-quality restaurants, cafes and…

There’s nothing like an impromptu road-trip to discover yet another Victorian wine region where you also end up making friends with beer. When your accommodation is a romantic middle-of-nowhere glampsite complete with natural beauty and wildlife, where you can still be in time for dinner at a city-quality restaurant in just 20 minutes, it kinda feels like you’ve hit the adventure jackpot. This was our weekend experience when we headed for Glenrowan this weekend.
Right now until the 18th of May you can stay at the Winton Wetlands (just over 2 hours from Melbourne, in Victoria’s North East, at the Mokoan Flash Tents camp, in luxury canvas tents, each complete with king-sized bed covered in soft warm fluffy doona, solar lamp, deck chairs, gorgeous Biology toiletries and extra rugs for added warmth, for just $150 (for 2 ppl).
The campsite features a generator-powered hot shower, toilets, picnic tables, bikes, and a fire (wood provided).
A spectacular location and photographer’s paradise, activities at the Wetlands include walking, bike riding, bird watching, canoing and star gazing. Incredible natural beauty, year round.
A stone’s throw from the camp is the Glenrowan wine region, where you’ll find deep, plummy shiraz, and dark berry durif, as well as some fantastic fortified and even a few good whites.
Wangaratta and Benalla are both close by (roughly 20-25 minutes) so if you’re looking for either breakfast or dinner options, you’ll be spoilt for choice. We love Cafe The PreVue, Cafe DeRailleur or the newly opened Bertsy & Co for brunch or coffee, and for the classic Italian cucina experience you can’t go past Rinaldo’s for dinner.
But first, the wine! We met Lennie at Baileys of Glenrowan, a winery that’s been around since 1870, and whose wines consistently rate a mid to high 90’s from Mr Halliday. Lennie was only too happy to take us through the range, we fell a little bit in love with the organic Shiraz and the 2013 Durif ( which we brought home with us)
Baileys also do a mean wood-fired pizza, as well as antipastos and cheeses at the Old Block Cafe, nestled amidst a gorgeous old garden.
Just up the road is Taminick Cellars where James Booth is continuing over 100 years of family winemaking tradition, producing Rose, Nero D’Avola, Shiraz and Durif.
In 2011 he opened the Black Dog Brewery on site, hand-crafting small-batch, preservative-free beers from premium malted barley, hops and yeast strains with pure Warby Ranges water. For a non-beer drinker I was pretty taken with the ‘Saison’! We picked up both the Shiraz and Durif, as well as a 6 pack of beers to enjoy at home.
Auldstone Cellars is also close by so we dropped in to have a chat with Nancy. As well as reds, Auldstone are producing some award-winning chardonnay and riesling. We even bagged 1989 (yep, you read that right) aged riesling that we opened when we got home and it took a few hours to wipe the smile off my face. Oh yeah.
Next time we’ll go back and visit Morrisons Winery which we just couldn’t fit in on the day.
If you’re camping, make sure you leave plenty of time for exploring the wetlands, just remember to pack a portable phone charger since there’s no electricity (although perfect phone/data reception to share your sunset pics on Insta!) and just revel in the sensation of being woken up by the birds instead of an alarm clock.

Mr Wednesday – ok any day of the week
You have to love it when a place opens up within fixie-riding distance from your house. Even if you drive the Volvo to get there. Hello Mr Wednesday. Welcome to the ‘hood. Located on Wingrove St in Fairfield, it’s a stone’s throw from the local primary school and thanks to coffee from Industry Beans, is destined to become a favourite with the mums after drop-off. Their magic is bloody…

5 years of blogging
Today my blog turns 5 years old. On this day on 2010 we set off for Italy and what started as a travel journal turned into a public obsession with discovering and sharing new food and wine adventures. I could never have anticipated the amazing experiences I would be lucky enough to have, and the incredible people I would meet over the last 5 years. Chefs and farmers, producers, pasta makers,…

Lady Carolina set to open in August
Ahead of Lady Carolina’s much anticipated launch in August, Paul Wilson has snared pit masters and Peruvian enthusiasts Blair Williams (Piqueos and Bluebonnet BBQ) and former employee Cameron Dening (Circa and Acland St Cantina) to bring flair and excitement to the kitchen, and bolster the 160-seater Latin restaurant and bar. Lady Carolina co-founder Alby Tomassi says, “With the calibre of the…

Looking for a Northside breakfast tomorrow? Breakfast at Jimmi Jamz East Brunswick
