The next day Simon joined me out in the country side to take in the views, watch me taste wine, and have a winery tour at
Tyrrell's.
Here is a shot of the front of the winery, they had a lovely Semillion, the first of the trip that I enjoyed and they also had a nice shiraz. One thing I did try and we brought back for Simon's dad was the 25 year old Tawny Port. Very yummy. We spent most of the afternoon at this winery tasting and taking the tour. The tour started out in the Vineyard talking about viticulture and moved into the cellars where we got to see all the barrels. My favorite part of the winery tour was the bit out in the vineyard.
I love this shot and learned later that this was the original shack built and lived in for two years by the founder till the homestead was ready to live in.
Because Simon was such a good sport we then went to two brewerys for tastings. This one was the
Potters Brewery. This one is built on the land where the pottery factory once stood and these are the giant kilns that still stand today. We also went to the
Blue Tounge Brewery Cafe and tasted their beers as well. All in all a great day and a great couple of days in Cessnock.
