Western Queensland Road Trip Square Tops Challenge #29
It might have been quiet at Nindigully Pub, but it was the opposite the day we went to Riversands Wines.
The car park was packed, marquees filled the garden and a band was warming up on stage. We’d obviously gatecrashed a party!
It was the St George winery’s annual Easter in the Vines celebration and by the time we arrived it was completely booked out. That didn’t stop winemaker David welcoming us with a warm smile and a few samples of his award winning wines. A bottle of his delicious Stirling’s Reserve Red Liqueur Muscat was soon in my bag.
We were too late to join in the “cook your own” barbecue lunch, but David found us a table under a shady tree.
Anyway, who needs steak when there’s coffee and freshly baked scones with homemade grape jam and cream on the side?
While our travels are on hold, I’m joining in every day with Becky’s April Square Tops Challenge over at The Life of B. The rules are simple: photos must be square and fit the theme word “top”.
Love that slogan- a bush story in every glass! He looks like he could tell a few. 🙂 🙂 I’d listen, so long as he kept feeding me scones!

Oh Jo, those scones were so tasty and the grape jam was really delicious. My grandmother used to make grape jam and I hadn’t had it for many years.

Lucky for us it wasn’t a private party and anyone could join in. The barbecue lunch had to be pre booked but everything else was there to be enjoyed. So we did! 😁😁

Grape jam is very tasty. My grandmother used to make it every year but I hadn’t had any for a long time.

The trouble with making a batch of scones is that I would have to eat them all and that could be a problem. 🙂

I enjoy a good glass of wine, but if I had to choose I’d take that scone and condiments because that looks delicious.

I used to cook all sorts of jam but I don’t think I have ever tried Grape Jam. It does look nice though. The Muscat sounded nice too. Was it very sweet?

Yes, the muscat liqueur is quite sweet and syrupy. Nice over ice cream. 🙂
