Log fires & warming reds ... Get cosy down south

The days are getting shorter and the nights longer. When it's time to put on your ugg boots instead of your thongs, you know Winter has arrived down south. For those who are not the biggest fans of the cold weather like me, and rather stay in instead of playing outside, here is a list of a few places where you can enjoy a nice glass of wine or beer while getting cosy in front of a crackling fire. 

1. Watershed Winery

This picture perfect winery with its blazing stone fire invites you and your family to sit back in their comfy chairs and enjoy the beautiful scenery. They have scores of children books for the kids to enjoy while you decide which wine you are going to have. Try their rosemary chips if you feel a bit peckish. www.watershedwines.com.au

2. Xanadu Wines

Located just a few minutes south of Margaret River - Xanadu Wines is a one of a kind place to spend the whole afternoon simply relaxing. Enjoy a nice glass of their James Halliday winning Cabernet Sauvignon and nibble away on a cheese platter while listening to the crackling fire. For more information visit www.xanaduwines.com/

3. Eagle Bay Brewery

Eagle Bay Brewery is a family run restaurant, microbrewery and vineyard located up high at Eagle Bay. Why don't you combine a visit at the Brewery with a quick visit to the light house? Enjoy one of their fantastic craft beers sit in front of the fire and enjoy the spectacular outlook over their 66 year old working farm. www.eaglebaybrewing.com.au

4. Vasse Felix

Last but not least is Vasse Felix, which was established in 1967 and is one of Margaret River's founding wineries. After a stroll through their art gallery, enjoy a long lunch or sit around the their uniquely built fireplace and enjoy a glass of wine. P.s. They have some fabulous desserts to indulge in. www.vassefelix.com.au
