How about an award-winning tour?!

Last week, the results of the McLaren Vale wine show were announced - we are so lucky down here to have so many wonderful brands led by excellent people.

How about a tour of some of the award winners? Taste for yourself some of the best of the best in beautiful spaces with beautiful hosts…

Start at Oliver's Taranga Vineyards for the best Fiano in the region.

Move onto the award-winning Grenache Gris at Larnook Wines (also awarded best small producer).

And how about the three trophy winning reds at Battle of Bosworth and Spring Seed Wines after that?

Finish off at Dandelion Vineyards Wonder Room - last week crowned the GLOBAL winner of the architecture and landscape category in the Best of Wine Tourism Awards - have you been yet? Or need to re visit? Let’s do it.

Other delicious wines and yummy nibbles served along the way also.

Pics clockwise - the stunning Wonder Room; ladies day out at Battle of Bosworth; the beautiful Oliver’s Taranga; the picturesque vineyard setting at Larnook.

Oh Willunga! You're so fun! The last few days has seen the Webex Players Series on the golf course next door (best enjoyed with a wine in hand). And the Fleurieu Folk Festival - highlights were Monique Clare (amazing vocal + cello = so good) Goldheist and of course Felicity Urquhart with Josh Cunningham - was close to groupie status for The Waifs back in the day so always appreciative seeing any of the band members. Our little town is so fab ❤️

All the pretty (and nice smelling) things today. Wanderlusting a little further East than usual with a farm tour at Jurlique.

Jurlique have been using farm-grown botanicals to create beautiful, natural skin care for over 35 years. That might seem very ‘of the moment’ now but three and half decades ago that was pioneering.

The tour allows guests to touch and smell the botanicals on the farm next to the products they make - a real ‘seed-to-skin’ journey.

I learned that iris root has antioxidant properties, all about different sorts of mint, and saw the Jurlique rose in real life plus lots of other botanical-related info.

It was all lovely. Would make a very nice inclusion on a Wanderlust Willunga itinerary… Watch this space!

(I was also reminded that on the arrival of my first child, not one, not two, not three but four dear friends included a Jurlique hand cream with their gifts. I quickly came to know that was because the hand creams are the best ever and they all smell divine. Citrus is my personal fave!)

Generally pretty pumped for the 6am out the gate alone time but this morning I really had to force myself. Glad I did. Came home to see the golden rays peaking through the gums and all the green out front of home… Spring is so pretty down here 😍 🏡

It is Thursday October 10. There are 76 sleeps until Christmas 😮

What are your work / social / family festive season get-together plans?

Long lunch and cellar door hopping? Can do. Champagne masterclass anyone? Or any other number of fab group activities - cookery, art, yoga, pilates - there are so many to choose from (over 50 in fact).

45 minutes from Adelaide. Great food and wine. Beautiful natural landscapes. Fun and welcoming hosts. What more could you want?

We can plan a great day out - completely hassle-free, all inclusive, a good time and lots of laughs guaranteed!

Did you see the Top 10 SA Restaurants last week? The paddock to plate culture is alive and well (and completely delicious) in regional South Australia!

Australian Gourmet Traveller's Annual Restaurant Guide includes the elegant Taiwanese fusion delicacies created by Muni right here in little old Willunga (top pic) and the flavour-packed great-to-share plates by The Little Rickshaw just down the road in Aldinga (bottom pic).

Both restaurants are superb! Have you been? You need to visit again! Not eaten at either? Stop it, you really need to fix that ASAP!

We can pair long lunches with a Champagne masterclass or an immersive vineyard tour and wine tasting for example. Let’s create the perfect itinerary for your group.

But start planning NOW - these local foodie institutions are often fully booked weeks, if not months in advance.

Thank you Andrea from The Green Gourmet for the fab post - reproduced here with permission : )

"Fermentation makes foods more nutritious, as well as delicious. Microscopic organisms - our ancestors and allies - transform food and extend its usefulness. Fermentation is found throughout human cultures. Hundreds of medical and scientific studies confirm what folklore has always known: Fermented foods help people stay healthy."
—Sandor Ellix Katz (aka Sandorkraut)

And there is nothing easier or more FUN than making your own ferments!

In Willunga, we have access to some of the most AMAZING, ORGANIC fresh produce that gives you the best possible start in making your own ferments (as well as very tasty meals!). And that’s exactly what we’ll do as part of Wanderlust Willunga Ultimate Foodie Day Out as part of this year’s Fleurieu Food Festival.

After choosing our favourite veggies and fruit from Meadow to Plate and McCarthy's Orchard, we’ll head up the hill to The Green Gourmet kitchen and get our hands dirty with some fabulous fermenting fun. You’ll then enjoy a nourishingly delicious lunch (including my divine apricot, dark chocolate and olive oil cake), have a lively chat about gut health, and take home your colourful jar of kraut.

And this is just ONE stop in your perfectly curated foodie day tour with strictly limited places.

Head to the link in bio to read all the details and secure your ticket - it will be one of the best presents you’ll ever give yourself. 😊 🌿🥕

OK, hands up who else becomes intensely interested in ALL the sports during these two weeks?! I don’t think it’s just me… Bit hard to keep a lid on things with a start like this though!

Here are our first four gold medallists (plus I added the Matildas because they’re amazing and Simone Biles because I am a super fan - haven’t seen the doco about her on Netflix? Highly recommend).

Paris 2024 is the first Olympic Games in history with full gender parity.

I think this is just all a bit special.
