We were recently lucky enough to enjoy a few days break down in the beautiful south west region of Western Australia.
A perennial favourite of ours for a long time, we were astonished to realise it had been nearly 5 years since we were last in the Margaret River area – holidays abroad having taken precedence over local getaways. Indeed one of the pleasant benefits of travel restrictions has been enjoying our own backyard more. I do realise that we are so fortunate to be able to travel freely within our home state of Western Australia.
We’ve always loved Cullen’s winery and so made a point of visiting for lunch one day. I’ve collated all my previous south west posts here and you can read about Cullen’s winery here and here.
In the meantime a few photos of our relaxed lunch overlooking the vineyards – I always enjoy the winter and the starker beauty of the leafless vines.

That’s good to know Lyn – it’s such a beautiful part of the world and we are so lucky to live so close by. It’s about 3 hours south of Perth with all the road upgrades. September would have been a lovely time of the year to visit đŸ˜ƒ

Oh, don’t tempt me! I’m afraid I overindulged last night. The wine… đŸ˜¦ đŸ˜¦

I’m sure the wine is very tempting in Portugal Jo! I find the Cullen’s wines are so well produced that they leave no real after effects (very low sulphur levels). Well that’s my excuse! Hope you’re feeling better today đŸ™‚ đŸ™‚

Yes, a day away from alcohol is all it takes. It’s too easy for it to become a habit here. đŸ˜• Ferry to the beach this morning and sandwiches on the shady patio afterwards đŸ’•đŸ’•

Hi! I was looking at google images searching for fotos of “the Cullens entering the cafeteria” in the movie Twilight and then I found this blog post. So yeah I don’t know who you are but it sounds like you had a nice lunch (about four years ago by now)! Hope you’re well!
Best wishes “A Twilight-fan who got lost on the internet”
