McLaren Vale - The Highways And The Bi-Ways: Rosemount Winery & The Victory Hotel

The July run began with breakfast and coffee at Cafe Mondiali on Unley Road. Bitterly cold, as we left the cafe the heaven's let loose with a mizzly drizzle. But once in the cars we all turned up our heaters and enjoyed a warm ride through the Adelaide Hills. We travelled through fog and rain all the way through the Hills and into the McLaren Vale area. Our first stop was the Rosemount Cellar Door. Here we tasted wines, looked at the art and enjoyed the ambiance. Next it was off for lunch at the Victory Hotel up the road at Sellicks Hill. Evading Main South Road for as long as possible, we travelled close to the Willunga foothills and then round to the Sellicks Hill area before having the join that road 'more travelled'. We enjoyed a fine lunch and then late in the afternoon made our separate ways home . . . or to wherever QCar members go when not on a car run.

Below photos from Julie and Harvey. And below that the document containing the route directions.
