Here is some practical hints when planning your next food and wine discovery:

1.      Have a map of the area you are about to travel.
2.      Print out the trails or recommendations you require and have them in your map.
3.      Use a mobile phone to check first whether a detouring place is open.
4.      Many of the suggested places can be quite expensive so if you have a limited budget, give the place a call to find out the average cost of a meal and then make a booking.
5.      Pack a picnic basket and Esky just in case. Make sure you have a cork-screw and some wineglasses.
6.      Tourist Information Centres have up to date information about attractions in the local areas. They also have brochures from adjoining areas, which you can also collect to research your trip along the way.
7.      Suggested places are only a guide and over the year some change hands, have new management or are just having a bad food day. Please if you find a better place than the one suggested or have had a bad experience, e-mail me at
deborah@inapickle.biz

8. Sharing your journey with other food and wine lovers may enhance the experience, if you are a large group, then it is wise to ring ahead to inform the places you will be coming.
9. Most of all enjoy.
10.     Always ensure safe alcohol practises.
