For things to buy in Cowaramup, look first along Bussell Highway. Seven Seas Tea blends loose-leaf by hand in small batches and sells it from the same address. Temper Temper is two chocolatiers, Roz and Georgia, who hand-temper their bars. Flavours run from grapefruit and fennel to Fairy Bread, which needs no explaining to anyone raised on Australian birthday parties.

On Tom Cullity Drive, Bettenays makes nougat on site behind a window, so you can watch the kitchen at work, and there are dozens of flavours, with free nougat samples to help you choose. Fine Food of Margaret River, a farmers market regular since 2001, has a kitchen shop in town with its sweet chilli sauce next to other South West brands. Near Margaret River, on Armstrong Road at Cowaramup, Olio Bello has a tasting room on the olive farm it has harvested since 1998.

Gracetown, on Cowaramup Bay, is about ten minutes towards the coast if you want the sea with your shopping. Our Busselton to Margaret River day trip stops here.
