Description:

On Saturday 3rd November we had a cruise to the Barossa to buy local produce form various companies.

We met at the Munno Para West Bunnings in the morning and had 5 cars in total including new potential members, as we drove to the Barossa on a beautiful sunny day. Our first stop was to the Barossa cheese factory where we were able to taste different soft cheeses and had a cooking demonstration of halloumi cheese which tasted yummy! We purchased some goodies then were off to our next stop, Steinys mettwurst. Once again we had some tasting of different mettwursts and meat products and made our purchases before we left to go to a local Gin shop where some of us had tastings of different Gin, this was a first for Kelly who now knows that she does not like Gin!

Next stop was to The Greenock for lunch, it was a small hotel that was very busy but the food was very nice. While waiting for our lunch Pat also came up with a new invention called 'the sling thing' we all had many laughs over that, even though we don't really know what it actually does... We then left from there and made our way to the final cruise destination, Jacobs Creek winery. The views from there were amazing with scenery the whole way around the winery. Some of us had taste testing of different red and white wines while others had a look around and had a rest. Once everyone was finished making their purchases we said our goodbyes and everyone made their way home.

Overall it was a great day out with great people, the weather was amazing along with all the places we went to. Thank you to those who came along on the cruise, you made it a fun day out.
