Margaret River Wine Tours: Pairing the Right Wine with the Right Food


The second step in pairing wine with food is to match flavours. A citrus-based, light-bodied Sauvignon Blanc, for instance, matches perfectly with most fish, especially grilled fish and even fish and chips. Those who have a sweet tooth can also pair wine with their desserts. A winery in Margaret River like The Berry Farm has an in-house café which offers house-baked cakes. A rule to keep in mind is to consider acidity, intensity, and sweetness. Chocolate and caramel cakes, for example, are sweet and, thus, go well with the equally sweet Australian Shiraz.

A Female Touch: Women Would Enjoy a Tour of Margaret River Wineries


Taking a tour of the best wineries in Margaret River may seem like a totally macho thing to do, but the fairer sex can enjoy wine, too. As it is, many of Australia’s wine drinkers are women, as Pia Akerman notes in her recent article for The Australian: Women are leading the race when it comes to Australia’s wine consumption, with surveys showing nearly 60 per cent of wine drinkers are female. They also wield mighty purchasing power, helping put sauvignon blanc (predominantly of New Zealand origin) into position as the country’s most popular wine variety, well ahead of the second placegetter, shiraz.

Margaret River Wineries: Strawberry Syrups and Delicious Desserts


The strawberry is one of the few fruits that you can find anywhere and anytime in Australia. Both the eastern and western halves of the country produce their own strawberry varieties, with Victoria, Queensland, and Western Australia contributing to most of the country’s strawberry production. Don’t be surprised, therefore, to find strawberries in many recipes for tasty desserts, like Romy Ashe’s strawberry pudding recipe, which she shared with readers of The Guardian’s Australia Food Blog.
