Margaret
River Wine Experience
5
Days and 4 Nights
Day
1 Perth to Dunsborough
The
next 5 days are designed so you can enjoy the fruits of one
the most sought after wine regions in the world. Rivalling
France and California as a premium wine growing region, the
area know as Margaret River is set against a backdrop of rugged
coastline, pristine beaches, pounding surf and towering forests.
Head south from Perth towards the major southern centres of
Bunbury and Busselton. Busselton is a logical stop for lunch
and take time to marvel at the 2 kilometre long jetty, longest
in the southern hemisphere. Today’s destination is Dunsborough,
which sits at the northern end of the region and is a good
base from which to visit several wineries as well as the spectacular
beaches of Meelup, Eagle Bay and Yallingup. A complete guide
of the various wineries, their specialities and facilities
are available from many locations in the region. Suggested
overnight stay - Abbey Beach Resort.
Day
2 Dunsborough to Margaret River
As
most of the wineries do not open until 10am, we suggest an
early morning swim. The short 5km drive out to either Eagle
Bay or Meelup is well worth the effort. As the next 3 days
will concentrate on wine, you may wish to consider an unique
opportunity to dive over the former Australian Naval ship
HMAS Swan which was recently purposely sunk off Dunsborough.
Many of the wineries offer eating facilities so consult your
guide and chose one where you can combine tastings with lunch
and or dinner. Remember to always nominate a “skipper”. As
you work your way through the back country lanes past the
various wineries and their rolling hills covered with grapes,
follow the signs to Margaret River, your home for the next
2 nights. Suggested overnight stay - Quest Margaret River.
 Day 3 & 4 Margaret River
Again,
if a morning swim is the order of the day, the 10km drive
to Prevalley Beach will bring you to the home of the annual
International Surf Classic. If big waves are only for watching,
a few hundred metres down the beach a gentle break is ideal
for novices and families.You are now in the heart of this
remarkable wine growing the region.The various wineries are
too numerous to mention but all are within easy reach of one
another, some simply over the road. All offer tastings and
some will ship your purchases home for you. Plan your days
based on the particular blends that suit your palate or just
follow your instincts, you can’t get lost. For the evenings,
take advantage of local chefs who combine the best ingredients
from the area to offer superb food to compliment the local
vintage. Suggested overnight stay - Quest Margaret River.
Day
5 Margaret River to Perth
As
you make your way north along the Bussell Highway back to
Perth, there are several opportunities to sample the local
cheese that are also making the region famous. At Bunbury,
head inland through Harvey and Pinjarra and marvel at the
green rolling hills and variety of local fruit and vegetables.
Now that you have been touched by the natural beauty of the
south west and the wines it has to offer, you will count the
days until you can return.
