Margaret River

The Berry Farm

Colonial Brewary

Voyager Estate

Our gourmet food and wine tasting tour of the region began at the Berry Farm where you can taste and buy a delicious range of mustards, preserves, vinegars and dressings. We had morning tea at the cafe - berry smoothies and scones with jam! The kids loved feeding the birds. The next stop was the shell museum which was quite bizarre - this man had collected shells from all over the world spanning the last 65 years and displayed them in his home and charged people to look at them. Further north we found the Margaret River Chocolate Company - a huge range of products from chocolate lip balm to after dinner mint flavored massage oil. Caitlin and I shared some rocky road and Cooper and Rick sampled some truffles - yum! Then on to the lolly shop at Cowaramup. Next stop was the Colonial Brewing Company which had a fantastic playground for the kids. Rick and I shared a sampling paddle. We were keen to find an olive grove and stumbled across 37 degrees South. We sampled the different oils and had to stop the kids from eating all the olives. We bought a couple of big tubs of olives and continued on to Voyager Estate a large vineyard with beautifully manicured rose gardens. We did a little wine tasting and the kids tried the grape juice in small wine glasses (not sure if that's a good thing or not) - all good fun. We bought a couple of bottles and then drove onto Margaret River Township and went for a walk down the main street. We decided to head back to the campsite for the Sunday spit-roast. Kevin and Shelly had invited all the campers to the spit-roast. It was a great turn out - everyone brought a salad or dessert and placed it in the middle to share.
