So I have to admit that reviewing a Cellar Door at a winery in Margaret River may seem odd when the reviewer doesn’t drink alcohol anymore! But this place is a great place for a relaxing and fun experience with some great wines to explore too. Kevin was a great host and our group were offered lots of wonderful wines from the estate.

Read moreI visited the cellar door today with my girlfriends, a group of older ladies, for a wine tasting in the Margaret River region. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making us feel so welcome. I don’t know much about wine, but they made the experience so fun and engaging, we were laughing, enjoying ourselves, and didn’t want to leave!

Lovely to meet...
