Cheese and Wine Tasting at All Saints Estate, Rutherglen
During our Australia trip, we had the chance to go for cheese and wine tasting in the Rutherglen Estate, nearby Lake Mulwala. We haven’t done any of these before, so we were really excited and hyped! Before our journey, we had a simple breakfast of rye bread wrap with ham, cheese and baby spinach. It was simple to make, healthy and yummy! 68W8GPAAKUM9

Breakfast
After breakfast, we started our journey towards Rutherglen. But on the way, we couldn’t help but stop at this amazing view of Lake Mulwala. In the morning, the sky was just so blue, the lake so calm and the environment so peaceful. Really, just give me a good book and I can stay here for the whole day.
Beautiful Lake Mulwala
Breathtaking view
Saucer in deep thought 
There’s one thing interesting about Lake Mulwala, and that’s the fact that it lays in between two states of Australia – New South Wales and Victoria. The separation is all but across a bridge! There are two bridges across Lake Mulwala, and we walked across one of it.
1st Bridge across Lake Mulwala
2nd bridge across Lake Mulwala
Look what we saw halfway cross the bridge! We’re crossing the border to New South Wales! 
Welcome to New South Wales
After taking the picture above, we walked back towards the start of the bridge, where the town of Yarrawonga was. Look, the population was only 6,200!

And there we saw it! The sign of Victoria! We have officially crossed the border of 2 states.
Welcome to Victoria
After all the pictures, we were on our way again towards Rutherglen Wine Region, which was about 40km away. Saucer was the driver while I was the navigator. Mind you, being the navigator was no easy task! I had to refer to a physical map, the GPS and the Google maps on my iPhone. Stressed!
My navigation tools
There were many wineries in the Rutherglen Wine Region, but I chose the biggest one to start with – All Saints Estate. After almost an hour of driving, we reached upon a grand entrance very much like that of a castle, with giant iron gates and a long path leading in with trees lined up on both sides. It was like a picture out of a storybook, very romantic and magical.

I know nothing about cheese and wine too! That’s why going for tasting is good, because they taught us how to differentiate among the types of wines. Very informational!
Good healthy breakfast! I like!
