Guests can prepare to be transported to Western Australia through food and drink as Robson Chew has curated a selection of wine pairings from the Margaret River Region — Western Australia’s award-winning wine region. The featured producers, all of whom offer distribution in the U.S., include Vasse Felix, the region’s founding winery. The Margaret River Region is Robson Chew’s current homebase where he oversees the culinary program at one of the region’s most essential destination’s, Cape Lodge. Tucked away in Wilyabrup and surrounded by some of Western Australia’s best wineries, Cape Lodge blends the charm of a private estate with all the amenities of a boutique hotel.
