Greetings!

 

There's much excitement in the air about the potential quality of vintage 2011 following unusual weather conditions prior to harvest.

 

So...as spring weather improves and kids head back to school after the holidays, it's a perfect time to indulge your love of wine.  

 

Plus you can take advantage of a special offer from our friends at Top Drop Tours ONLY available to readers of abbEyNEWS like you.

That record-breaking spell of hot weather we endured at the beginning of 2011 could just spell great news for wine lovers. 

 

All that sun lead to early ripening of the fruit and the potential for a fantastic vintage. 

 

Only time will tell but wine-makers around here are certainly enthusiastic about what lies ahead. 

 

That means it's a great time to indulge your senses and explore our famous Margaret River Wine Region. 

 

But with about 90 wineries scattered throughout spectacular coastal and forest landscapes, along winding country roads, unearthing the REAL gems can be a minefield. 

 

And there's always the eternal question of "who's going to drive?". Fear not! Let us introduce our friends Chris and Kerry at Top Drop Tours.

They are the Margaret River Wine Region's small group and private wine tour specialists. Their friendly service, local knowledge and luxury vehicles ensure indulgence AND relaxation. 

 

We like recommending them because as owner operators they have founded their business on local knowledge, personalised service, careful selection of quality wineries and a thoughtful approach to developing itineraries. 

 

People have been raving about them on tripadvisor. Comments like this: 

 

We were looking for a Tour operator who could satisfy our wish list to only cover a selection of wineries without the full tourist "hit list" and Top Drop Tours did the job professionally but in a very relaxed way. We enjoyed the experience and found Chris to be a good companion as he shared some of the gems of the Margaret River region - Fred, Avoca Beach NSW 

 

Right now, Top Drop Tours are offering our Abbey Beach VIPs a FREE Gold Pass worth $49.95 for tours booked in October and November.

What their clients say...

 

"We went to a lot of different wineries that we would have probably not have found by ourselves and may have even found the winery that will supply the wine for our wedding! The day was relaxing, enjoyable and insightful all rolled into one. We will definitely be recommending Top Drop Tours to our friends and family and most certainly be booking another tour very soon."
