Oh, Myattsfield, how do we love thee? Let us count the ways. 1. You’re pretty as a picture, nestled in the rolling hills of the Bickley, which (soz, Swan Valley) has become our new foodie destination of choice. 2. Your wine sorbets are satisfying our red wine cravings in hot weather, and have us totally […]
Breakfast at Artezen Espresso is always entertaining. At the table to your right will be a group of hungover 30-somethings wolfing down eggs and coffees in an effort to cure the effects of yesterday’s wine tasting – which turned into bottle tasting.

I love Margaret River, but sometimes it’s just so… so serious. At the wineries, you have to worry about the mysterious etiquette governing proper swirling, sniffing, sipping and spitting.
