G'day mate - Foodzeit's OZ tour, today @ a culinary tour through the Yarra valley

Glass of wine with good cheese and a fabulous view
What is more to wish for?

On the free Monday following the Australia day, we decided to check out the Yarra valley, situated in the north east of Melbourne. The day was a wonderful day and now, thinking back, I wish I would have more time planned for cheese and desserts hehe. This little docu shows the wonderful region of the yarra valley that has to offer an abundance of awesome artisan products the make your mouth water and don't let anything left to wish for. The problem that I had is that everything is already too touristic and we had to fight our way through the chocolate place, trying to compete with busloads of tourists that all had the same idea in mind – tasting and buying handmade chocolate. All in all I am happy though that handmade specialties and produce from farms are so successful in Australia and that people do seem to care where their produce come from and that there is always fresh things on the tables. Hope you are enjoying this little culinary tour as much as I did.
