The Adventures of Meagan and Alannah in Picton: Campsite cuisine, tastings, and other foodstuffs

 THE CAMPSITE.

THE SET-UP:
Our pantry.

The dining room.

DINNER DAY 1: 

Local beer sausage, sweet cherry tomatoes, local sweet corn with county peach cider mustard.

 Can't have food without a fire...

 BREAKFAST DAY 2:
Best purchase on the trip was this antique egg pan.

Local eggs, smoked bacon, prune plums, fried eggs from the new pan, baguette with local aged cheddar and garlic butter made on the site.

 One of my favourite visits on the trip was the Waupoos Cidery. Such a humbling environment with a gorgeous view. All of the food is cooked outside on a barbecue and in a stone pizza oven.

 DINNER DAY 2:

Chicken "crack kabobs", striploin  steak with mushrooms and onions, grilled leeks, local salad with butter lettuce, grilled corn, cucumber and cherry tomatoes.

BREAKFAST DAY 3:
Soft boiled eggs

Second great purchase of the trip: Egg cups

Grilled summer sausage, sauteed peppers, onion and mushroom, soft boiled eggs on garlic-buttered baguette, and cold brew coffee made on-site!

This local pub stands amidst dirt roads and farmer's fields and appears to be in the middle of nowhere. It's the quaintest damn place with two inviting patios.

 Their soup of the day: Mixed meat soup served with crackers. Tasted sort of like blended chilli, but delicious nonetheless! The presentation really got me.

 Most breathtaking winery: Karlo Estates.

 Our tastings were paired with cheese and other snacks

 Alannah and I after our second round of tastings for the day.

 Of course we ordered the cheese board with our glass of Quintus.

 Back on the site: peach and pear sangria

 DINNER DAY 3:
Pizza dough from Waupoos cidery, local basil pesto, summer sausage, mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes and local cheese.

 Ran out of propane so we smoked it over burning fire wood

 Tried to make popcorn...

BREAKFAST DAY 4:

Last morning in Piction at Willliam's Family Diner: Sad and hungover.

 Western sandwich with garden salad, coleslaw and a pickle. This meal was extremely satisfying after a late night on the site. We both ordered the same thing.

 BREAKFAST DAY 5:
We ended our trip at the St. Jacobs Market. Here, I ordered a litre of pink lemonade and a smoked meat sandwich on rye.

Alannah ordered a breakfast crepe.
