Shakespeare in the Vines

Last night we enjoyed a picnic performance of Much Ado About Nothing in the gardens of the Seppelt's Winery. The grounds where the performance was held was a large grassed lawn surrounded by pine trees. Wine and gourmet food were available or you could bring something from home to share with friends.
I didn't want to disturb the experience for other people so the only photos I have are when there was music playing (and hence dancing).

As usual we took too much food and could not hope to eat it all - but it was very delicious!
We banqueted on anti pasto (fetta / fresh tomatoes and basil / martinated artichoke/olives / cold meats / italian bread and salad) and our desert was all kinds of fresh fruit with vanilla flavoured mascarpone.This was apparently the 4th year for the winery to host this theatre company in their gardens. Next year they will be performing Romeo and Juliet on the 27th of January - we have already marked it in our calendars and anyone else is more than welcome to join us!

The weather turned out to be just fine. We were quite worried on the drive there - it started to rain a little just after we had left home - within 30 minutes it was a torrential downpour. There was still a little rain falling in a town about 15 min away from Seppeltsfield - but when we arrived it was fine and the ground dry! I think we appreciated the evening even more because of it.
