Visiting a wine region as big as Margaret River is a thrilling yet overwhelming experience. It could be the idea of tasting some of the most spectacular wines at a right at the cellar door for the first time or the sheer volume of wineries that call this region home!
To make the most of a wine region it doesn’t mean that you have to experience everything, in fact it means just the opposite. Be sure that you are realistic with your time, that you do your research, try what you like and sometimes what you think you don’t.
The magnificence of any wine trip is not just confirming your love of a particular varietal or going to the source of a brand you’ve been loyal to from afar. It’s also about making new discoveries and building new memories and associations.
