Bit old now but just joined
anyone attend the gourmet weekend
I thought it was fantastic went to many good wineries and lunch and breakfast over the 2 days was magnificent
well worth the trip for anyone interested at the end of August
NOTE
Dont buy cellar door pass if attending that weekend . great for normal weekend but not gourmet people just too busy
Barrossa valley Gourmet weekend
We did.
Started with an entree at Kellermeister - lovely seafood soup. Shared the Jazz with Trevor Jones and friends.
Tried the Kellermeister Tempranillo, delightful, and a few old favourites.
Had a lovely cheese platter at Jacobs Creek. Quaffed the '05 Steingarten (fantastic), and the JC reserve Pinot Noir Chardonnay, that at about $16 a bottle is just awesome value.
Finished with some nice dessert at Peter Lehmanns, as well as lovely vintage Muscat, Port, and some Black Queen (not necessarily in that order). Had a nice sleep on his tranquil lawns near the creek, just perfect!
Port Power beat Geelong, oh well, you can't have everything!

Didn't get there myself, but friends did.
Breakfast at Rockford apparently was incredible..
They visited a few other places and had a great day - including a helicopter ride over the Barossa from Chateau Tanunda - topped off with an entertaining display from some p*****d idoit trying to launch something at the chopper!
They ended up at Schild estate with some groovy cover band playing...
If I get the chance I'll be there next year!
Don't know about the cellar door pass - what's that?
