Balingup .
Hillsides and valleys of the region are dotted with vineyards, orchards,
olive groves and market gardens. With diverse climate changes the range of
grapes has enabled the region to produce some great wines. Many of the
boutique vineyards handpick and produce premium wines at low prices.
Olive’s groves are producing great oils with many of the grower’s
value adding to their product. Stone fruit and apples are famous in this
region and cherries in season bring in tour companies to purchase the
succulent fruit.
Balingup has attracted a stream of very talented
artists who have settled in this picturesque town and many have work shown
in some of the many galleries in the town and surrounding region.
Four distinct seasons each offering something
different with a profusion of bulbs and buds in spring with abundant
birdlife, amazing colours of reds, gold’s and everything in between in
autumn. Bare branches and romantic mists in winter and summers sunburnt
‘scapes. Whatever the season you will enjoy a kaleidoscope of changing
colours that will continue to enchant you.
