11.16.19 Josef Chromy Winery

We started the day with a trip to the Harvest Saturday market. It's a great market with lots of options. I bought Metcalf Distilleries Reckless Gin that's distilled with native Tasmanian plants at the botanicals.

We also had a delicious gluten free salted caramel fudge brownie. I had a sausage roll that tasted more like meatloaf on the inside than sausage.

After the market, we headed to the City Park. We were surprised to find monkeys hanging out in little zoo enclosure.

 

The Park is lovely.

 

 

It was time to head to Josef Chromy Vineyards. Glenn had found a special event - Effervescence Tasmania that was offering a Long Lunch in the vineyard. Very exciting. Josef Chromy is the premier winery in Tasmania. We had the most wonderful lunch. Josef himself even sat with us and the winemaker Jeremy. It was very special.

We ended up sitting by Carl and Ananlese - Americans who live in Melbourne. We had a great time chatting them. Everyone around us was so lovely and offered lots of tips for the rest of our time in Tasmania.
