“Meander through backroads to taste outstanding wines from wineries of the Mt Barker sub-region of the Great Southern appellation; awarded for its Rieslings and Shiraz. This region has a characteristically cool climate with slow ripening times which enables the development of rich flavours and quality grape juice. Barbie Q will join you at lunch and spend the afternoon on tour.

Be entertained by Barbie Q, mingling on tour. Capture photos with Barbie Q dancing on the lawn at Plantagenet Wines, skipping through the vines and playing hide and seek at Galafrey Wines and peeking into the wine-making room at West Cape Howe Wines.

Wine tasting begins at Gilbert Wines, home to the ‘lads’ and is followed by a morning tea/coffee, scone, jam and cream. At Plantagenet Wines meet Barbie Q. Choose your wine and make your purchase to accompany a scrumptious shared platter lunch of local produce. Onwards the tour will take you to Galafrey Wines another family-owned winery and home to prominent female wine-maker Kim Tyrer.

From there to West Cape Howe where you can sample wine from their extensive range, olive oil or their own brand of coffee! Our Albany Tours guide will take care of the skipper duties, whilst you relax and enjoy the scenery, wander in the wild of the Great Southern Wine Appellation and the sensational flavours of the region, and mingle, pose and wander in the wild with Barbie Q.

BarbieQ is Albany Pride royalty – first performing at Albany Pride Festival back in 2017, and returning each year since!

BarbieQ is renowned in the drag performance community, with over twenty years in the industry. She’s a multi-award winner, a dancer since the age of thirteen (with a five year career as a dancer for Princess Cruises in the USA) and is the Entertainment Manager for Connections Nightclub in Perth.

If that’s not enough, BarbieQ is also a regular Fringe Festival performer in Perth, which shows such as The Madonna Circus: ReInvention and Drag Diva Spectacular.

It’s always an absolute delight to welcome BarbieQ back to Albany, who amazes our audiences with her artistry, moves, sharp wit, and delightfully vulgar language!
