Beechworth Wineries

The scenery and the wineries around Beechworth make the place a magnet for tourists.  Even if you are not tasting wine, the restaurants attached to the wineries really do themselves proud.  We purchased some Reisling at the Watchbox Cellar Door and then had some of their spectacular pizzas from their wood fired oven.

Later we went to the Warrabilla winery to try their magnificent signature wine - the Durif.  I had not tried Durif before but the Warrabilla version is a taste sensation.  No wonder some wine critics call it the best wine produced in Australia.  It is like a dense, velvety, fruity almost chewy Shiraz.  So the credit card took another hit.

Then on to Stanton and Killeen where Doug had to restock with 3 x 23 litre casks of their Muscat.
