Yesterday's Chauffeur Service guests - Chris & Dalena 😁
A surprise belated birthday present for Chris - from Chris junior.
A 3-hours Chauffeur package (departed from Beaufort).
I started the day with a caffeine fix at The Flywheel Bar & Cafe in Beaufort before picking up my guests. On we cruised to Mrs Baker's Still House where Chris & Dalena enjoyed a gin tasting session while I set their table on the verandah for a picnic lunch.
As always, Mum's tablecloth, silverware, vase and more were on the table. It's my way of taking her on my Silver Mink Tours journeys.
Also on the table this time: fresh blackberries and flowers from my garden, plus mini bars of chocolate by @Lucky and James (Ballarat).

Sunday was another one of those days where I realised how much I love this work. I get to meet fab people doing all sorts of awesome things with their lives. That can be anything from taking time out for a long overdue "treat", exploring parts of a region they have lived in forever, but rarely have time to enjoy, or celebrating...birthdays, anniversaries, friendships.....
This time I was out with a couple of guys who were in Ballarat for the day. One English, the other Scottish - great fun, cruisy, appreciative, easy friendly guests. We started off with coffee in the indoor deck space of Boatshed Restaurant, then headed for the countryside. Marc is one of the content creators for Venue Bible (Melbourne). He brought a drone out with us for the day, we meandered down quiet country roads around Wattle Flat, and got some pretty stunning shots of "Minx" the Rolls Royce. As Marc said "she's so photogenic"!! The sun was shining, a fantastic Sunday vibe, pie and wine at Black Cat Truffles, and a truck load of laughs.
Book your chauffeur experience here https://www.silverminktours.com.au/chauffeur-ballarat
Departing from Ballarat, we can easily take in a visit to Black Cat Truffles. Why not book one of the remaining spots for this winter's truffle hunts with Liam? Then enjoy fine regional wine and a degustation lunch. What's not to like about that??!! 😁
(next available dates for your luxe ride in Minx are the first weekend of September).
A bit of the back story...
By creating Silver Mink Tours and Chauffeur Service, I bring together many of my own passions and experiences to offer really unique, fun, professional, luxe days out! Hospitality, stacks of travel experiences across the globe, learning more about other cultures...all important back stories to where I am today. Founding and (voluntarily) Co-ordinating A Pot of Courage social enterprise is something I am super proud of. Over the weekend I got to support Lilly (Flying Chillies) as she took out third place in Ballarat's Best Pie competition. A former A Pot of Courage cafe co-ordinator who has stamped her name well and truly in our culinary scene. We got to catch up with Sofia Levin again (thanks again for the great stories you wrote about A Pot of Courage Sofia!), raise our glasses.....and then head off for Lilly's laksa pie 😋
