Margaret River

Up next on my adventure was our trip to Margaret River. As a family who loves fine wine, we loved being able to explore the wineries and enjoy the views.

We chose to tour with A Touch of Glass and Charters and their professionalism and flexibility didn't go unnoticed. They tailored our wine tour in the Margaret River area specifically to us and helped us tour wineries that best fit what we wanted. They allowed us to change wineries and our itineraries whenever it didn't fit our schedule or taste and did it with a smile. Without A Touch of Glass and Charters helping us along, our vacation wouldn't have been as perfect.

Below is attached a copy of our Margaret River Itinerary. We got to experience several areas in this wonderful island including going to the WA Surf Gallery and Busselton Jetty for Sean's birthday.
