Our Journey
-
Our first stop for the day is in at the charming South Gippsland Village of Loch. Our time here will depend on what time we arrive, but we assure you, no time is ever enough in this beautiful little hillside town.
We love starting the day here, as it allows you a chance to…
Grab a coffee from one of the many amazing cafe’s.
Browse some of the boutique country stores
Simply breath in the fresh air, and relax, before we really kick into the day.
-
Our first winery for the day, and always a popular one – the Gippsland Wine Company!
Here we are given a taste of not just the award winning, cool-climate single vineyard wine; but also a taste as to what makes the South Gippsland Wine Region truly unique – it’s authenticity.
Mark, the owner and chief wine-o here, gives us a first hand look and an in-depth taste into his livelihood and his passion.
Accompanied with the wine is a taste of some of the finest cheese in Australia, grown right down the road at Prom Country Cheese.
-
Walking into the Burra Brewery here in Korumburra could relax even the most hardened of souls.
With a great atmosphere and relaxing vibes, our time here is well spent enjoying the locals brews made right here on site.
Complete with some absolutely delicious wood-fired pizzas our stop here will definitely be an enjoyable one.
-
A bit further down the road, we arrive into the charming djinta djinta estates. Another of Gippsland authentic, family operated wineries, our experience here is like no other, as we indulge in some more of Gippsland finest wines whilst savouring the tastes from a freshly made, locally sourced, grazing platter.
-
To get to our last stop, we take the scenic route right through the South Gippsland Hills – and what lays before us is simply breathtaking.
We will play some classic tunes to pass the time, before arriving into Gurdies Winery, directly overlooking the vineyard and Western Port Bay!
It’s a sight to behold here, as we soak in the views, and soak in our last drop of fine wine before we depart.
