A trip to the Mid-North Coast this Easter long weekend wouldn't have been complete without a trip to a local winery, so of course I found time to squeeze one in!
The winery of choice was a little place called Raleigh Vineyard and Winery in the Bellinger Valley, 15 minutes south of Coffs Harbour. Its quite a small winery situated on the Bellinger river which is a gorgeous spot to stop and have a cheese platter and a bottle of vino.
We were greeted by the very friendly hostess and worked our way through each of the wines, my favourite of which was the semi sweet Rose, which had a mourish cherry-like flavour. Once through the wines and port, we were treated to the most exciting bottle of all....the Raleigh Brandy Cremes.
I'm not a huge fan of Baileys or other cream liquors, but this was amazing! The instant we tasted it we ordered a bottle each and asked for the order form for more! The creme is thick, sweet and creamy with a hint of brandy flavour that is perfect on its own or in coffee or dessert.
Needless to say, I don't think the bottle will last long and I'm already planning to put it into an Eaton Mess to eat while watching the Royal Wedding on Friday night. Yum!
