It seems like the wine region of Margaret River is sparing no expense to give its Barossa Valley and Hunter Valley neighbours a run for their money when it comes to fiestas.

Wine dinners

Head down to La Cicala at Club Street, and Jim Thompson at Dempsey Hill for a wine dinner. Savour Portuguese wines such as Cape Roca Vinho Verde White and Monte Cascas Colheita Red Douro.

Banking on history

Lebanese winery Chateau Muscar may have been founded in 1930, but it can count on the country’s 6,000-year-old winemaking tradition to inspire and drive them to produce quality wines.
