WOW – is the word that keeps coming to mind for our first Dandenong Ranges Doggy Winery Tour. Wow -what a fantastic group, Wow, wonderful hospitality from Whispering Hills Vineyard and Elmswood Estate and WOW WOW WOW to Burnham Beeches for amazing service, sensational food and a wonderful welcoming approach for our group and of course WOW to our guests and team on the day!

Thank you to Murray from Whispering Hills for an entertaining guided tasting and great artisan breads, which filled up Bella the Bus. Thank you Jeannie from Elmswood Estate for providing THE BEST view to relax over a wonderful selection of wines.

To Emma and her talented team at Burnham Beeches Estate – you have officially nailed it as THE MOST AMAZING venue for 2015!. We all felt so special and welcomed by your team who cared for every detail and made lunch a truly memorable experience.

Now for you the 2 and 4 legged guests, who were so lively and chatty. From the moment Bella pulled away at Port Melbourne for her new adventure, the sound of friendly chatter could be heard all day, the driver (aka ME!) smiled the whole trip. It felt like taking a group of close friends on a day out………….and that is the principle behind Gourmet Pawprints – Food, Wine and Walks with your dog!

So many returning faces and paws. Welcome back Ayla, Louie, Lulu, Jasper and Martha you guys were so well behaved, some proud fur-parents! Hello to Dougall and Alfie, we think you enjoyed your first Gourmet Pawprints day!
