To the Margaret River Wineries

It was not far to drive from Busselton to Margaret River but we had many stops on the way. No not wineries, they came later.
We detoured to Dunsborough also on Geographe Bay. There were some beautiful homes and it was a little more upmarket.
The most interesting sights were on Cape Naturaliste and we visited Eagle Bay,  Meelup Beach and Bunker Bay.All were very beautiful but we remained dry..well as dry as a few showers would allow!
At the point we visited the lighthouse before heading back to Dunsborough and then on towards the wineries.

We stopped at several wineries as we drove to Margaret River. There we so many to choose from we ended up at a few familiar names and a few others by chance. The Cape Naturaliste Vineyard at Yallingup, Swings and Roundabouts, Vasse Felix and Watershed were the ones that we ended up visiting. All good and had some of the wines with dinner tonight.

Tomorrow we are staying at Margaret River but plan to visit a cave as well as vineyards. We may find a cave full of champagne!

Glad you went to Watershed after we had such a pleasant lunch in the Drummonye outpost last week!

I asked about that and they told me they had no connection with any restaurant.
Also the wine labels are different. Perhaps we can recommend legal action but might be best if
we said nothing!
