Getting there

Don't worry about flights – your return journey from any capital city is provided by Tourism WA as are five days of car hire to get you from Perth to the heart of Margaret River.  All you and your someone special need to do is pack – but remember to leave room for those inevitable purchases!

 
Rest in style

After enjoying the scenery and delights each day, you'll be snoozing in style at Must Margaret River. It's in the heart of the township but not only offers their own winebar and bistro on site but is within walking distance of a great range of food and beverage options.

The suites have been recently refurbished to reflect the style and contemporary feel of Must and make the perfect base to relax and reminisce about the day's experiences.

 
And now the vineyard tours, tastings and lunches...

Your personal tour of Voyager Estate is an informative journey that brings to life this inspirational mix of Cape Dutch architecture, award-winning restaurant, exquisite gardens, meticulous vineyards and premium wines.

Australia's largest underground barrel cellar is just one of the behind-the-scenes highlights of the tour which culminates in a guided tasting of Voyager Estate’s wines.

Then it's time for lunch in Voyager's elegant dining room and to sample the best local produce used by acclaimed Executive Chef Nigel Harvey and his committed team to create a feast of sensational dishes. All matched perfectly with Voyager wines of course.

 

Celebrate the art of living well with fine wine and food combined with a picturesque setting at Leeuwin Estate. Following your personal winery tour and tasting, a seasonal lunch will await you in their Gold Plate award-winning restaurant.

Relish the local produce in beautifully prepared dishes and discover how just how well it suits the Leeuwin wines. (The freshwater marron is a specialty).

You'll be basking in the tranquillity with the sweeping verandahs, bifolding doors and domed skylights that showcase the meadows and majrestic karri tree forests beyond.

 
It's not just about great wines – discover the boutique brews

Traditionally known for its exceptional wines, Margaret River is now home to an a number of innovative boutique brewers adding a new dimension to the culinary experience.

Family owned and operated Cowaramup Brewing Company serves up a range of traditional brews all made with the nine hop varieties grown on the property. Along with the four beers on tap – Pilsener Hefeweizen, Special Pale Ale and India Pale Ale – the brewers are always working on the next seasonal or specialty brew.

You'll enjoy a personal brewery tour and tasting before tucking into a delicious lunch in the beer garden and taking in the peaceful classic rural views.

 
 And local hospitality

Settlers Tavern is 'the kind of pub every wine region should have' – so said Gourmet Traveller in 2008 and this sentiment remains as strong as ever.

Originally built as a haven for the region's emerging surf culture of the 1970’s, it's now a gastronomic hub with an award-winning wine-list with over 250 wines from all over the world including more than 50 from Margaret River.

And not forgetting the 15 beers on tap from local boutique and international brewers plus a vast range of bottled beers.

The menu is driven by local produce and world flavours: local Wagyu beef, Plantagenet Free Range Pork, Mount Barker Free Range Chicken, Nannup Cambray Cheese and Margaret River Venison are southwest specialties.

There is always a great selection of freshly caught local fish as well and even plenty of pub favourites like Veal Parma, Lamb or Vegetable Curry, Laksa and Spag Bol.

Whether you choose lunch or dinner at Settlers, you're sure to rub shoulders with local legends and a widely eclectic mix of world-class winemakers, winery crew, locals and their families and travellers from every continent.

 
 Get a new appreciation for coffee

As part of your Margaret River culinary experience, Yahava KoffeeWorks will take you on a full coffee appreciation course covering growing and harvesting, green beans, roasting and of course, the ultimate test – the tasting.

Yahava believe there's no one overall  'best coffee'  just the best coffee for your your own particular taste buds. They choose only the best quality beans available to provide a selective range of flavours and aromas so there's every chance you'll find your perfect brew.

To remember your KoffeeWorks course, you'll go home with a gift box that's full of delightful aromas and memories.

 
Discover diamonds, lakes, mammoths and a spectacular lighthouse

In between all the fabulous wine and food, experience some of the most unique and stunning caves in Australia and climb the country’s tallest mainland lighthouse with your complimentary entry to all four major attractions.

Be stunned by the dazzling visual display of nature at its finest in Jewel Cave where stalactites and straws stretch, suspended and hanging across the ceiling like vines and dancing cobwebs.  At Lake Cave absorb the peace and tranquillity of the mirrored reflections, surrounded by towering aged karri trees and in Mammoth Cave, an enormous gothic chamber, take the journey of Indigenous inhabitants and ancient megafauna - complete with fossils.

Take in the incredible views of Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse where two great oceans meet -  the Indian and Southern.  Its location creates a unique, awesome and contrasting experience year round.

QUINTESSENTIAL MARGARET RIVER WINES

The Margaret River Wine Industry Association has provided a marvellous mystery mix of their wines as they gear up for the five day Festival in m

There are three cases to be won and all are classics that showcase the terroir and indisputable winemaking skills of this vibrant and innovative wine region.

From Knee Deep Wines comes a case of a mixed wines highlighting the skills of renowned winemaker Bob Cartwright and including their 2010 Knee Deep Sweet, 2008 Cabernet Merlot, 2008 Hayley's Reserve Shiraz, 2008 Kelsea's Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, 2008 Vintage Shiraz, 2009 Kim's Chardonnay, 2009 Sue's Cabernet Sauvignon, 2010 Chenin Blanc, 2010 Rose, 2010 Sauvignon Blanc and 2010 Sauvignon Blanc Semillon.

Knee Deep produce small parcels of fine wine from the heart of the Margaret River wine region. The name not only reflects a passionate commitment to the premium winemaking process but refers, tongue-in-cheek, to the fact it was established when there was a glut of grapes and is a wry smile to the testing conditions in which it was born. And of course, it can also mean the laid-back Margaret River state of mind in which visitors often find it so easy to immerse themselves.

SUPERB VINEYARD LUNCHES from Vasse Felix, Cullen Wines and The Berry Farm

There's nothing quite like a vineyard lunch with finely prepared local produce matched perfectly wines from the vines in view to make an unforgettable Margaret River experience. We have three lunches to be won.

From being one of the first vineyards planted in the region, Vasse Felix is now one of the most highly reviewed and visited wineries in Australia and for good reason.

The combination of an exquisite restaurant, a unique underground cellar and tasting room and art gallery make it the perfect destination for a relaxing afternoon of wine, food and vineyard views.

It's not just the vineyard that is certified A Grade Biodynamic, at Cullen Wines their restaurant prepares and serves dishes using fresh, biodynamic organic produce sourced from their own garden and select local producers.

Even the building itself, made of granite and timber, blends harmoniously into its surroundings. Another of the original vineyards in the area now offering some of the finest wine and food experiences.

The Berry Farm is nestled in the picturesque Rosa Glen Valley and tantalises the tastebuds with a delectable range of jams, vinegars, preserves and award-winning fruit and table wines, ports and liqueurs.

The Berry Farm Cottage Cafe was originally a 1925 group settlers home but now the wide verandahs and timber floors open up to a lovely cottage garden setting brimming with bird life where our winner will enjoy a country style lunch from the seasonal menu.

SIP AND SAVOUR WITH TICKETS TO THE MARGARET RIVER WINE REGION FESTIVAL

You could win one of three double passes to the Vintage Festival, part of the Margaret River Wine Region Festival at Palmer Wines on Saturday 19th March. Celebrate Vintage as you forage for local produce and sample from over 200 wines in this abundance of wine, food, music and art experiences.

Meet the passionate winemakers, inspired artisans and committed producers that make Margaret River the special place it is.

Experience the region's bounty of natural produce as you graze your way in relaxed style or savour the signature dishes from the array of talented chefs before meandering through the amazing diversity of wine styles.

Live local music and commissioned artistic displays on the Visual Arts Trail and People's Choice Art all add to the total experience of pure Margaret River pleasure.

RESEARCH THE WINE AND FOOD OF THIS ICONIC REGION

must eat by Russell Blaikie is another must-read cookbook from Australia's foodie west. Russell established Must Winebar in Perth which is one of the city's favourites and he's now taken this successful formula to Must Margaret River where the lucky winner of the major prize will be spending their nights.

But the book isn't about these venues - it's about the three tenets of provenance, seasonality and suppliers along with delicious recipes that are restaurant dishes to 'ideally serve up to inspire your own cooking at home'.

It's a fantastic distillation of Must chefs' many combined years of experience in one tome that highlights how WA is developing its own style of cuisine. Win one of these four copies and you'll soon be planning your next culinary trip out west.

Ray Jordan has more than thirty years wine writing experience and his insight and knowledge of the Western Australian wine industry is extensive. Each year he shares his thoughts on the current vintage, the state of the industry, the best of the West and featuring over 800 wines from all of the state's wine regions and this year is no different.

The Ray Jordan 2011 WA Wine Guide would have to be the ultimate guide to wines from this state but it's more than a list - it has recipes from Perth's top chefs, handy tips on tasting, cellaring and of course, need-to-know wine and food matching advice. (Review coming soon.)

With all that plus its handy WA wineries map, this is a must-have book for anyone serious about wines in the west and we have five copies to be won.

Produced by the Margaret River Wine Industry Association, the Margaret River Wine and Food Recipe Book is a delightful book, both a souvenir of one of Australia's best wine regions and the perfect way to try a few different dishes from the west - matched with their delicious wines of course!

Chefs from the region's vineyard restaurants have shared some of their favourite recipes with a result an interesting mix of old and new dishes, all eminently do-able. You could win one of five copies.

To find your way around this spectacularly rich culinary region, you'll need the Essential Wine Touring Map of Margaret River and we have six maps to be won. Author and guide Conor Logan has a deep association with the area (his parents are founders of Xanadu Estate) so you can be assured the map includes the best on offer, whatever the size.

The map includes 98 wine makers along with local food producers, bars, eateries and microbreweries with location, contact details and GPS co-ordinates. With background information on the winemaking cycle, vintage ratings and more, it's a very useful guide to keep on hand when you're on the road less travelled.

Promotion opens 1st December 2010, closes midnight 28th February 2011. Winners drawn 2nd March 2011. Major prize winner and Vintage Festival ticket winners will be notified by phone and email. Winners of runner-up prizes wil be notified by email.
