Country Road Trips
Fowles Winery
What can I say—Fowles Winery is the epitome of City Country Chic! In fact, the iconic Ladies Who Shoot Their Lunch poster, which holds pride of place in City Country Chic, is from here. It’s more than just décor; it’s deeply meaningful to me, a thoughtful gift from my best friends when I returned from three months away in 2024.
Everything about Fowles is on point—the wines, the restaurant, the shop, the coffee, and even their fun pop-ups. It’s the perfect mix of sophistication and warmth, and it’s always a must-stop, even if they didn’t have the best coffee on the way (but they do!). Fowles Winery isn’t just a place; it’s an experience I treasure every time I visit.
Sam Mirandas
Sam Miranda’s is a gem that’s always worth the stop! Their grazing plate is an absolute standout—loaded with fresh, local goodness that’s perfect for sharing (or not, if you’re feeling selfish!). Pair it with one of their amazing cocktails, and you’ve got yourself a winning combo.
They also sell the most beautiful hand wash and hand moisturiser, which I’ve added to City Country Chic. And don’t leave without grabbing some of their signature fairy floss—it’s perfect for making cocktails at home. Plus, their Prosecco is always in high demand from my friends. Sam Miranda’s is a perfect mix of style, flavor, and charm—once you’ve been, you’ll keep coming back for more.
