Whaddya mean? The Guru never retreats!
Not that kind of retreat! ………..OH!
I mean a break where one relaxes 1: the act of relaxing or state of being relaxed. 2 : a relaxing or recreative state, activity, or pastime : diversion. 3 : the lengthening that characterizes inactive muscle fibers or muscles.
Now that’s my kind of retreat! Wine tasting. Good food. Wine tasting, good food, and more wine tasting.
The iconic Mitchelton winery tower.
Heaven……… the wine tasting and sales area.
The “Sofitel” motel snuggled in at the foot of the tower.
There is one of the largest collections of aboriginal art in Victoria.
You can even go fishing!
Their was even a “cement pond” – where’s granny (Irene Ryan) and Elly May (Donna Douglas), well in order not to be labelled a “dirty old man” I took the photo after the pool had closed. Arghhhhhh!
The great weather meant we had to slip, slop, slap.
The grounds are riddled with “art” works.
Dinner at the rowing club on Lake Nagambie
The Goulburn river tributary that the winery is on.
A “black swan” event.
View of the “theatre” from the tower.
The Goulburn river from the tower.
A panoramic view of the winery complex
A small fraction of the vineyards.
Unfortunately (well not for my pocket) the day spa was booked out well before we even made our booking so, Maree did not get the pampering she deserved. Next time when we will be back in May.
We had a really great time just relaxing and doing nothing ………..and wine tasting!!
Wonderful photo’s Dave, hope you feel well rested now, and enjoyed the wine tasting.
