Series 4: Food & Travel Melbourne & Victoria, Australia

Fresh Sweet & Juicy Strawberries
A Great Summer Day to do something Delicious! Yes, to do something Delicious! Let's drive South of Melbourne to Mornington Peninsula, the beautiful hinterland of Victoria.
An area renowed for its quality fresh produce, world-class vineyards and award winning restaurants. It's steawberries seasons as well as some other fresh produce such as peaches, raspberries, cherries and all seasonal for vegetables.
I had been longing to do "Upick"- pick your own fresh produce and explore the picturesque farm fields. I just loved the green trees, farm lands, vineyards and the freshness of the air surrounding these picturesque fields.
Whilst on the road, I had quickly done a check on the website via my mobile phone, where Upick were available and Sunny Ridge Strawberry Farm was open for Upick Strawberries. That's where we were aheading then for lovely juicy sweet fresh strawberries!
