I know when my Archie and Arabella were around that age I dreaded the typical restaurant experience because they would be so restless and noisy and there would be glares from other diners. So much better to be outdoors. Looks like a great day out with Mr Bite's family.

My family has been having celebrations at wineries all my life; you would've suspected us all of being alcoholics too ;) But it's as you say; wineries these days often house incredible restaurants in gorgeous surrounds (and, in our case, are a nice drive outside the city for the grandparents). xHannahhttp://wayfaringchocolate.comnoreply@blogger.com
