Beer, Wine and Cheese at Red Hill

Last Sunday we went for a road trip with Stefania, Matt and Giorgia. The day started off pretty foggy. We couldn't even see the city from Richmond Station.

We had lunch at Red Hill Brewery and tasted their beers.
Beer!

The beers were really great. My favourite was the Golden Ale and Paul's was the Scotch Ale. Although I had the Temptation (8% beer) with lunch - it was recommended to go with the salmon! Not my fault it happened to be the most alcoholic on tap! Haha!!

After the brewery we went to Red Hill Winery. The view from there was lovely and the gardens were pretty.

Giorgia was especially keen on the fountain and pond.

We went to Red Hill Cheese next. They have an awesome selection of cheeses from cow, goat and sheep milk ranging from mild to bitey, hard to soft and everything in between. We had 2 tasting plates there to finish off the day and we went home with a lot of cheese. :)

On the way home, we stopped off at Arthur's seat look out. It was still pretty overcast, so we couldn't see very far, unfortunately. Paul actually held Giorgia today. I think he might be getting clucky. Giorgia's charms are pretty hard to resist though!

  1. It's true, Giorgia is very easy to like!! It's easy to see why parents have kids when they are like her ... although I am not sure she feels the same about ol' uncle Paul. The look on her face is one of 'Why does this strange man keep holding me ... I want to be running free!'
