Within an hour’s drive from Adelaide are three fantastic wine regions: the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and the Adelaide Hills. The wineries were all very friendly, and we tasted some incredible stuff. Though some of the very best stuff has put Australian wine on the map, they drink mode of the good stuff at home. We tried some fantastic wines that, if exported at all (and often not), aren’t sold in Canada. One exception was at Geoff Hardy, from where we’ve been buying wine for years through Opimian. Luggage is a bigger issue than customs, though we still managed to bring home a couple bottles of shiraz-based port and a “black champagne”, also made of shiraz. The photos are here
