Grapes

Jan had been searching online and then suggested we go out as we’d been staying in the house for several days.  Her plan was to visit Katich’s The Grape Place in Caversham, which is part of the southern Swan Valley, an area renown for it’s wineries.

It’s only a 14km drive from home which took us approximately 16 minutes.

The car park was interesting with grape vines growing above providing shade during the summer.

Jan immediately headed to the shed whilst I delayed to read the numerous signs.  They all stated the grapes were not to be picked.

The young lady who served Jan appeared to have a Canadian accent.  A backpacker trapped by COVID???  We selected three types of table grapes, all very tasty.  We will be returning!

The plan was to then visit a nearby patisserie for coffee.  However on arrival we discovered the car park was almost full.  The place was packed with soccer mum’s having their regular morning tea.  The sign at the door made me chuckle.

In the end a long queue and limited range of products resulted in us deciding to leave without making any purchases.   I suspect I have high expectations after looking in the windows of patisseries in Paris.
