The Land Down Under is full of great wine growing reagions.  We'll take you on a tour around this vast country visiting a few of them and tasting the differences of the terroir within each wine.  Hunter Valley; Climate is warm to hot sub tropical and the soil is volcanic loams to red cracking clays. 
 Adelaide Hills;  The grapes grown in this region are mostly the earlier ripening varieties. The high altitude, the wet and cool spring, and dry summers allows the fruit to mature fully at a much slower pace than in other regions.  Victoria; the Yarra Valley region of Vicotria produce Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of immense elegance and delicacy. Barossa Valley; Australia's most famous wine region.  It is home to some of the oldest Shiraz vineyards in the world with a landscape comprising of rolling hills, manicured vineyards, and closely linked towns and villages.      
 
Chris from Youngs Market will be here to guide you in your tour and open your eyes to a new dimention of Australian wines.  Call today to reserve your spot!  602-307-0022
