To mark our last day in Oz, we decided to do what we like best – good food and wine.
Yes, there has been some sightseeing and earlier today we made some interesting purchases (I know, sounds very mysterious) but the focus was clearly on sensory delights.
With the Swan Valley wine region being close to Perth/Fremantle and very handy for the airport, there is no need to go any further. The difficulty lies in deciding which Wine Estate to choose. There are so many and all of them sound very good.
We ended up at Pinelli Wine Estate & Restaurant – mainly because they offer sharing platters (which we like) with a twist.
Going for a tasting at the Cellar Door first, we found the perfect wine to enjoy with our lunch.
I know … I forgot (or was too excited) to take a picture of the platter. You just have to imagine a perfectly presented board of Arancini, Bocconcini, Calamari Fritti, Gamberi Grigliati, Grilled cacciatore sausage, warm olives, Chilli Mussels, some cheese and ham.
Followed by a gorgeous dessert – and this time I did take a picture
Definitely one of the best meals we had in Oz – taste, atmosphere, attentiveness and service. Sadly, we leave early tomorrow morning – otherwise I would happily go back again.
