Margaret River winery tour

Saturday 7 November


We did a winery tour of the Margaret River area today. Our driver Richelle picked us up from the caravan park, and we went to Dunsborough to pick up the rest of the group, and then off to our first winery. We went to 4 wineries, had lunch at the Cowaramup Brewery, went to a nut and cereal place and also a chocolate maker. Very interesting day, the wineries were all small family run places, which are usually better than the big places. All the wine was good, some better than others as always, but none really awful. There are about 120 wineries in the region so you could spend a lot of time trying. The brewery also has a tasting setup, you can buy a tasting paddle, which is a board with holes for small glasses of their different beers. Today’s brewery gave us 5 different beers to try, while the one we went to on Thursday had four. They range from a pilsener to a stout, and again some better than others.

Not much else happened today, and we plan a quiet day tomorrow, catching up with washing and so on. We’ll probably have a bit more of a look around the town.
