Two hours to Provence

This beautiful estate is a 2 hour drive from Sydney, in the Hunter Valley, yet once Miss 77 pairs of shoes and I reached Talits French Estate Vineyard we felt thousands of miles away, as though we was transported to Provence, France!

Upon entry we were met by the other guests, for our girls weekend away, who promptly handed us a glass of wine and set me to work on starting the fire, which surprisingly was a huge success, luckily as it wasn't the warmest of nights!

The following morning we had breakfast on the balcony before embarking on our long day of tasting wine.  Talits arranged a private wine tasting tour for us, we sampled many local boutique wineries from the Broke area, one in particular I which couldn't get enough of was Nightingale's Night Owl Sparkling, it was delish! Which reminds me, I should place an order for more!

To end the day we organised the Talits in house Chef Ben to come to the estate and prepare a 3 course dinner for our group, he did a wonderful job, we (bar one) were licking our dessert bowls trying to get every drop of the warm Bailies chocolate sauce!

Talits Estate is delightful, the property is nestled among lavender bushes and an olive grove with plenty of areas to sit and take in the surroundings.  It is furnished with traditional french furniture and being spacious made it ideal for our large group.
