We stayed at Prevelly beach and managed to visit some beautiful vineyards, check out a 20 million year old cave and play in some waves...A grand time was had by all. We went to the following vineyards:
We loved this boutique vineyard. It was picturesque and had a lovely play area for the kids. Brilliant I say!
Apparently a powerhouse name in the margaret river region. One of the oldest vineyards in the region...
A charming vineyard with a humorous and tempermental french winemaker.
This small family run vineyard was our fave find of the weekend...the cellar door was in the tin shed where the operations go on. Jim the vineyard manager was pouring us wine in his working duds while his wife was putting through the visa card...They were sweet and make good wine. (we think) You tend to get a bit caught up in the charm of the whole thing. Anyway- you probably won't find it in canada but we liked the 2005Fimiston reserve shiraz and the 2005 Ivanhoe Reserve cab sav. Apparently Both should be cellared...who can wait!
A big operation- a fantastic play area for the kids to hang out while the parents sip vino.
Touted as one of Australia's great estates and responsible for Australia's greatest chardonnay...we didn't get a chance to taste the wines- but a gorgeous spot. There are outdoor concerts held here every summer. Jack Johnson, Sting, and a bunch of other biggees have played here.
