Eling Forest Cellar Door Cafe & Winery





Curiosity after multiple trips back and forth between Sydney and Canberra led us to Eling Forest Cellar Door Café & Winery.
It was a beautiful place that captivated us from the entrance.

It was only 9.30am so we only ordered the Toby’s Estate coffee. There wasn’t a breakfast menu but they sold tarts and cakes. 
The coffee was a bit disappointing because (a) there was too much milk and (b) the milk was too hot. I usually love Toby’s Estate but this particular cup was a let down.

On the upside, The décor was lovely. The displays and tablecloths gave the place a nice warm country feel while the gardens outside had rows of peach, nectarine and plum trees. 


After the coffee, I walked over to the wine counter and had a taste of the 2005 Botrytis Semillon ($15).
It was golden in colour and rather unremarkable. It smelt sweet like honey and toffee and tasted sweet. Um.. that’s it. It didn’t leave an impression on me unfortunately and I didn’t take any photos either.
 
That’s it! I have to admit, I was more interested/distracted by the surrounds (i.e. the cute magpies, federation style cottages and hens).
 
If you need a stop over, take a walk around Eling Forest café & winery, walk in between the fruit trees, have a coffee but don’t compare it to your normal swish city cafes.
