Wine Tasting with a Toddler

Ever since knowing we’d be going to Margaret River I wanted to try to get to some of the vineyards in the area to taste some of the amazing wines produced in the area. After some searching, we found Sig from Taste of the South who said he would take us on one of his “Hits with the Kids” wine tours – great things for the littl’uns to do and lots of yummy wines for the adults.

I guess because it was a Monday, it turned out that we were his only guests so we had the SigBus (as William called it) all to ourselves! This meant that we had the tour tailored completely to what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go.

We started at a local sheep farm where we saw a sheep shearing demo and Wills was able to feed both the grown up sheep and little baby lambs – one who was only 8 days old. After that, we went onto three lovely vineyards for some wine tasting and a delicious lunch – the first was aptly named Will’s Domain. All three vineyards had amazing play areas for little man to keep himself more than occupied while Mummy and Daddy sampled some of the local tipple. We finished the day off at the Margaret River Chocolate Factory – all in all a great day out – apart from the obligatory 2 year old’s tantrum just before bed!

Just finishing off our wine tasting now, by sampling a bottle of “Three Boys” Primitivo grown by our hosts Lara and Jamie here at Burnside Farm and grown in the next field over – delicious!

  1. Loving the blog updates.

    Glad Wills is enjoying the land and sea and hope he is settling down a bit more.

    I am sure the wine must taste a lot more sumptuous when you are drinking it in sunshine….

    🙂
