You will then have the opportunity to relax and enjoy the view, or have a wander around Picton or maybe a local brew at The George IV! Or perhaps you would like to book in for that relaxing massage ($60 each for an hour’s massage).
Dinner is not included in the package but we are happy to either make a reservation at one of the many local restaurants or pubs or you are welcome
Third Day
8.30am
Leisurely breakfast with your cheese-making mates then continue with completing your cheeses – you will be finished by lunchtime.
You then divide up your goodies to take home. Before departing for home, you will receive a timber cheese board and spreading knife made by Greg to present your cheeses in the best possible way! Full instructions are provided for making your cheese at home afterwards.
We suggest you bring a small esky and ice-brick in which to transport your 'works of art' home with you.
