Wise Winery

After the whale watching we headed back to Cape Naturaliste to Wise Winery for lunch. The chirpy servers at the tasting bar had about 20 wines they wanted us to try and were very good at keeping track of all the potential customers at the very busy bar. They don't charge for tastings in this area by the way, one of the few places we've been where this is true. We made it through the list of whites but headed off for our lunch reservation promising to hit the reds after eating.

Sugarloaf Rock

The renowned restaurant featured Italian foods so we opted for two different risottos. I tried the Pinot Noir and Duncan opted for the Chadonnay he had just tasted. The food was excellent but maybe the portions were a bit large so we skipped dessert and further wine and headed back to the Cape to at least begin the 3.8 km walk to Sugarloaf Rock. The trails in this area are really impressive, all sealed which allows people with disabilities easier access. Though the weather was stormy we pressed on with me in the lead. Duncan wanted to stop when the rain started, but we didn't have far to go to reach the rock so I persuaded him to press on. He said he was slower because he was still drugged from the whale watching trip. We made it to the rock easily and enjoyed great views. We were the only ones on this trail - on a Sunday! It was awe-inspiring.
