Walking and wine






The Sole Sistaz (you remember us) went out along the Federal Highway to Lerida Estate Winery. Well actually three Sistaz and an honourary Sista arrived at the rendezvous at 11.30 am last Saturday. The day was overcast and threatening rain and snow. The reason we drove an hour out of town to do this walk is that it is part of the Fireside Festival. This festival includes things like walks, listening to jazz or other music and lots of food and wine in different venues all over the region. The festival runs for the whole of August. We walked from Lerida Estate to Lake George Winery (next door). We had to cross a creek bed or two, open and close gates and walk through a pine forest. The walk took a slow hour. We retired to the Cafe at Lerida estate for an elegant repaste, before driving back home to hide inside for the rest of the weekend. The top temperature for Sunday was 7!
