What you get

- Your weekend, sorted. Which markets are on, which farm gate is worth the detour, what's in season. Short emails, only when there's something worth knowing.
- The little places you'd drive straight past. New makers as we find them, the small ones down side roads and behind main streets, so you get there first.
- Your holiday favourites, wherever you live. Tasted something you can't stop thinking about? We'll tell you which makers post Australia-wide.

Three hours south, and where to stop

The coast is free. The caves are not.
Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park costs nothing to enter, so most of this coast is free: beaches, lookouts, a karri forest drive and whale platforms.

The tastings are free. The tour is a window.
