Since it's uncommon to have extra-curricular activities during vintage, this was a welcomed excuse for a break. Several of us from Vasse Felix (Tamara, Rolls, Marc, and I) were fortunate to join the Bali crew, along with Cullen's winemaker Trevor Gordon, Ashbrook Estate founder Tony Devitt, and Austrade's Mat Lewis.

The Ocean Eco Adventures​ cruise departed Dunsborough (40 minutes north of Margaret River township) in the afternoon and cruised around the calm waters of Geographe Bay. Wine industry folks know how to party, which meant we were well-prepared with a wide array of fantastic wines to accompany the delicious food provided. With great company and beautiful scenery, I think it's safe to say that we all thoroughly enjoyed this trip. I just hope we could do it again some day!

Thanks to everyone for making an evening to remember, to the crew from Ocean Eco Adventures for their friendly and professional service, and to the Vasse Felix winemaking team for letting me sneak off for an afternoon!
