Wine tasting at Dingo Creek Vineyard
Wine among the vines, a grazing platter and space for my dog? Sign me up!
The cellar door at Dingo Creek Vineyard in the Noosa Hinterland offers just that – and all with a picturesque view of Mount Cooroora.
The tasting here isn’t free but for $20, you get to try six wines and take the glass home as a souvenir as well.
Tasting experts and a photographer
The vineyard stocks 14 different wines and the team there are knowledgeable and very involved in your tasting – no being left to your own devices here.
Aiden loved the Chardonnay but the star of the show for me was the Black Cockatoo Sparkling Shiraz. Some bottles of that definitely made their way into the car to be enjoyed again.
Enjoying an extra glass of the sparkling shiraz.
In addition to wine, these guys are also putting out tasty fortified drinks and we scored a bottle of their delicious port to take home.
There isn’t a full kitchen here, but we enjoyed a full glass of wine and a robust grazing platter out in the sunshine with Falcor by our side – the end of a fantastic day out and about.
A grazing platter fit for a King!
The grazing platter was brimming with salami, prosciutto, ham, cheeses, vegetables, fresh bread, spreads and even chicken wings!
The location is divine, you really feel like you are away from it all and the rustic deck doesn’t intrude on the natural location at all. I can imagine it looks amazing all lit up after dark.
The open deck catches a nice breeze on a warm day.
To ensure you nab a spot (and don’t drive all the way without tasting the wine), make sure you book in advance. I know we will be when we visit again to restock the cellar…
