IS FOR
YARRA VALLEY
This is the wine district about an hour's drive from our home (how good is that?)
Often, on a Sunday, TraderVic and I along with our dear friends, Marie and Tony, will go to the Yarra Valley to do some wine tasting and to have lunch at one of the many great restaurants in the area. One of our favourites is De Bortoli's winery. On Sundays they have a set four course menu with matched wines - fantastic!
The Yarra Valley is so very pretty.
.... and, of course we have to stop at the Chocolate shop on the way home!
... and the Llama farm!
Anyway, that is all from me for the Letter Y but let me explain what The Alphabet Club is all about ....
It is the brainchild of Chiara from The Grey Tail and Jo from Serendipitous Stitching and is loosely based on the premise of the movie "The Breakfast Club" - you can see the button for The Alphabet Club on my right sidebar.
On the first Saturday of each month, members of the club have "detention" and have to post about something that will enlighten others about their culture (as blogland is so diverse). Of course, there should/could be something stitchy in there, if possible (although I seemed to have moved right away from that premise as the months have gone by, instead focusing on boring you all with quirky facts about Australia - lol!)
Each month will be a different letter of the alphabet - hence the club's name - and, of course, we started with "A" and now we are up to "Y", the penultimate letter - almost the end of the alphabet but dear Jo tells me that she has a great idea for Life after Z - can't wait to find out what it is!

What a lovely place. I always love seeing photos of your wonderful country!!
Llama farm, chocolat shop and Winery/restaurant, that's the perfect day for me! Yummy! Why is it so far? xxx
The scenery is beautiful and I would love to visit a sweet shop that has such a variety. You certainly had a wonderful day!
I enjoyed my day our with you in your Y post. It does look a very beautiful place to see mother nature at her best.
What a wonderful outing.... I love the wine country in California. There's no chocolate shop there though... that place looks like my idea of heaven. Happy stitching!
What a lovely area Kaye and what a great way to spend your day. RJ @ stitching friends forever
Lovely! It's fun to see the beautiful places in Australia. The best armchair travel!
My husband and I come from a wine region here in Germany and I think my husband would relate to what you write about Yarra Valley and its wineries, whereas me, I don't drink wine. But what a great scenery you can find there. Thanks for sharing all the lovely picture.
OMG.. that chocolate shop! Piles of different chocolate chips? I'd probably be allergic, so it would be safe. :)
I don't drink wine, but I'll join you at the chocolate shop!
I've enjoyed hearing all about Aussie life over the past 25 months!
Great Y post,your alphabet posts are so interesting Kaye,it is lovely to read about different places.
I would say that I loved the chocolate shop photo the best, I dream of a shop like that here. I image it smells wonderful. I think I need to find some chocolate.
