Penola in the Coonawarra

We have now left Victoria and are back in South Australia. The small town of Penola is on the southern end of the Coonawarra and home to some of the regions well known wineries.

We settled into Penola Caravan Park for the evening after enjoying the lovely settings at Di Giorgio and Parker Wineries and taking a stroll through town.

Although we didn’t visit Wynns for a tasting we did drive in and have a look around.

Di Giorgio Family Winery is set in lovely gardens. The colour in the vine leaves are dark gold and burnt red as they start to turn and drop off.

Parker Estate wines began in 1985 and we tasted some very nice bubbles, whites and reds.

Penola is just as we remembered it; a lovely small town and a good caravan park to overnight in.

The journey home begins from here and we will take about 2 weeks to trundle along.
