You would expect the dedicated traveler to a country’s signature wine region to really take advantage of the time and sample wine after wine, going from one vineyard to the next trying to get in as many as time would allow, but with a 13 month-old in tow, the perspective changes drastically. Instead of enjoying the fine bouquet, or savoring the subtleties of flavor, we are taking a few quick sips, and trying to find the next big distraction for both Bella and Chloe. We can only keep them entertained with a couple of toys or crawling around on a patch of perfectly manicured grass for so long before we have to find either a swing or some kind of food. We did however get top two vineyards: Clairault and Driftwood, as well as a local micro brewery during our 3-½ day stay.
Actually, these pictures are of our visit to the Swan Valley wine region which is just about 30 minutes away from Perth. You get the idea though...adults lallygagging and enjoying the wine with a laid-back, casual attitude with a baby that has a different idea. Convincing her to drink milk while mommy and daddy drink wine is easier said than done.
