Sayonara, Hokkaido!

An enjoyable trip in all, Piggletino hops into his little “onsen bath tub” along with his wine, Japanese mochi dessert and a cup of green-tea latte!

Goodbye Hokkaido, we’ll be back!

McGuigan Wines and other wineries

Piggletino decided to get out of the room, first stop: award-winning McGuigan Wines and its fine selections!

Of course Piggletino wouldn’t miss taking a photo with the vineyard…

before making his way to Tempus Two, of which combines traditional wine making with modern innovation –

Oh look – Piggletino bought some wine chocolates for himself from McGuigan Wines!

Checking in at Hunter Valley: Peppers Guest House

Having made sure he has arrived in the right place, Piggletino checked into a lovely cottage-styled accommodation – Peppers Guest House at Pokolbin! Surrounded by gardens and offering exquisite gourmet delights Peppers Guest House was a natural choice for the clever traveler Piggletino!

With such comfortable beds and awesome views, one couldn’t be sure that Piggletino ever wants to leave the room!

Hunting down Hunter Valley

Piggletino never fails to visit the wineries! This time it’s the wine region Hunter Valley!

You know when you’re in the Hunter Valley when you see a huge bottle of wine like this…

 

Dreaming in Yarra

Piggletino visits the Yarra Valley!

He was dreaming of having his own vineyard… rolling hills in the background, a beautiful blue sky framing his land…

…Ploughing the fields with a little tractor…
(PS: Spot the pig! He’s driving!)

And maybe some day have his own wine-brand like this…
(PS: Can you spot the pig again?)

Exploring the areas of Mornington Peninsula

Ah, what a wonderful world…

Piggletino is up early and out in the wild at Mornington Peninsula, about an hour and a half’s drive out of Melbourne.

There is so much to see and do at Mornington Peninsula’s coastal towns – to shop at Mount Martha, or a leisurely drive to the top of Arthur’s Seat? Relax by the beaches of Rosebud, or live luxuriously in one of Portsea’s clifftop mansions?

Since Piggletino couldn’t decide, he chose to stop by a winery to get some sun!

New Zealand, Wanaka: Mt Difficulty Wines

Piggletino decided to get some exercise, heading over to the Bannockburn area to check out Mount Difficulty vineyards! Oh the finer things in life…
