It was only about a 30 minute drive from Margaret River township to Happs winery. Happs is a boutique winery in Dunsborough, Western Australia. This small winery with so much character is divine.
We visited Happs in mid September, and found this to be one of our favourite wineries of the region. The range of wines produced from their vineyard is due to the variety of grapes they grow. These wines include Chardonnay, Shiraz, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Nebbiolo
There is quite a range of things to do, see and enjoy at Happs Cellar Door. Here you will also find an extensive pottery, gallery and gift shop where we purchased some wonderful handcrafted items. The Happs Pottery and Art Gallery showcases beautiful artwork from around the South West region from pottery, jewellery, wood products, art and sculpture.
We spent a very enjoyable time in the wine tasting room with Trevor who took us through some lovely wine tastings, taking his time to describe and compare each wine. All the wines were fantastic.
This charming tasting room has an adjoining provedore on one side and the pottery gallery on the other. In the provedore room you can “build-your-own” picnic or platter at the Happs Hampers counter. This counter is stocked full of local cheeses, olives, charcuterie, crackers, chocolate, dips and much more. You can enjoy your picnic on the lawn or at one of the café tables outside or you can take your goodies with you.
We chose to enjoy coffees outside at the little tables and chairs that were located on the veranda around the perimeter of the gardens. As much as I enjoyed the winery, the gallery and the tastings, my favourite by far was the exquisite and extensive gardens which are definitely tended to often with much love and care.
All the wineries in this region are very good, but I thought that Happs had the best selection for my taste, beautiful grounds and gardens.
I would have followed the wine tasting sign. lol
All so beautiful.
Have a great weekend.
If you had followed the sign you would be a very happy person. The wines in the Margaret River are supremo. You have a good weekend also. It is our Anzac Day here, very special. Thanks, Lyn
Seriously? I had no idea. Sounds like I would have loved it.
Thank you
It is a very beautiful place Lyn, and in those settings a taste or two would be serene.
I miss those little journeys around the Hunter Valley, wandering beautiful countryside and enjoying the sampling of life within it 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋
Thanks Mark, it sure is a beautiful place. I think that we will be able to enjoy those little journeys again real soon. Lyn
Your wonderful photos make it all look very inviting.
Thanks Sheree. It actually is very inviting and very homely and comfortable.
Another one for my list!
Anzac – yes, a very important day.
I would have followed the wine tasting sign as well. :) I like living in wine country.
Yes Lynette, Anzac is very special and seems to be getting more special each year. Margaret River is sensational wine country with its untouched beauty and wonderful climate. Thanks, Lyn
Beautiful photos! I love how much you travel and explore!
Thanks Katelon, yes I do enjoy travel and exploring. My blog has definitely helped me with my exploring as I now look for and see so much more then pre blog days. Lyn
these small vineyards have an alluring charm. this one is no exception.
Thanks Gail, I especially enjoyed Margaret River. I guess the cooler climate sure had its appeal to me. Lyn
There are some great wineries around Margaret River. I just had to take some samples back to the UK after my visit 😋
Margaret River wines have a great name here in Australia and so they should they are very good wines. Great that you took some back to the UK, thanks, Lyn
beautiful gardens
I know, I loved it so much I have it as the screensaver on my pc. Thanks, Lyn
How gorgeous are those gardens Lyn.
I know Sue. I loved them so much that I have them as my screen saver on my pc and I am trying to create the look in my own yard. I enjoy gardening but my fingers are not always green so I will be excited when I achieve the look. Thanks, Lyn
☺️💫🥀
This looks so beautiful and peaceful, I have bookmarked it Lynn as I’ve never been to Margaret River but keen to go…once the trans-tasman bubble starts up
It truly is a very beautiful and tranquil spot, thanks for your comment, Lyn
😊
Gardens look heavenly. They are calling out to visit them.
Aren’t they gorgeous. I loved them so much they are now my screen saver, thanks Christin. Lyn
