Ultimate Winery Experiences Australia - Latest News‏

At last Spring is here and our wineries are ready for the season ahead. Winter dormancy is over and the first buds of spring are beginning to appear on the grapevines. Soon shoots will emerge, then tiny leaves and photosynthesis can provide new energy as the vines exhaust their dwindling carbohydrate supplies. As you can imagine, this is a very beautiful time in Australia's wine regions as the vineyards turn green and temperatures begin to rise.

At Ultimate Wineries, we are delighted to add a number of new experiences to our existing catalogue, more details below.

Many of our wineries will also be releasing their Spring menus in the coming weeks. We've got a sneak peek below - keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates.
