点评:Called into the Milton Vineyard en route to Bicheno. There’s a free wine tasting available in which you can try 5 of their wines or for just $10 per person you can “upgrade” to a tasting of 5 of their premium wines. As we found out, for your $10 you can not only taste the 5 premium wines but you can also sample the 5 “free” samples (provided you’re not driving of course). Amongst the wines to taste there are white wines, reds and rose.
We also sampled the two-cheese platter which not only tasted amazing but was also exquisitely presented. It comprised of a soft cheese drizzled with local honey and a brie-type cheese, served with biscuits, fresh peach slices, quince, fresh apple, dried apple slices and dried thinly sliced orange (see photo).
Before leaving, we purchased 2 bottles of their Pinot Gris (our favourite of the premium wines we sampled) and a jar of the honey.
I have to mention the lady who guided us through the wine tasting - so informative and knowledgeable. Also, whoever prepared our cheese platter is a true culinary artist. Thank you.
I highly recommend a visit if you’re driving up the east coast.
翻译:在前往比奇诺的途中,我们来到了米尔顿葡萄园。这里有免费品酒活动,您可以品尝 5 种葡萄酒,或者只需每人 10 美元,您就可以“升级”品尝 5 种优质葡萄酒。我们发现,花 10 美元,您不仅可以品尝 5 种优质葡萄酒,还可以品尝 5 种“免费”样品(当然前提是您不开车)。品尝的葡萄酒包括白葡萄酒、红葡萄酒和玫瑰红葡萄酒。
我们还品尝了双奶酪拼盘,不仅味道鲜美,而且摆盘精美。它由淋上当地蜂蜜的软奶酪和布里奶酪组成,配以饼干、新鲜桃子片、榅桲、新鲜苹果、干苹果片和干橙片(见图)。
离开之前,我们购买了 2 瓶他们的灰皮诺(我们品尝过的优质葡萄酒中,我们最喜欢的一款)和一罐蜂蜜。
我必须提到那位指导我们品酒的女士——她知识渊博,知识渊博。此外,为我们准备奶酪拼盘的人是一位真正的烹饪艺术家。谢谢。
如果您开车沿东海岸行驶,我强烈建议您去参观一下。
