Here's cheers to outdoor movies

Locals and visitors to Margaret River will soon be able to enjoy an evening under the stars as Cape Mentelle once again starts its summer season of movies.

Movies at Cape Mentelle will run from December 9 with a guaranteed five movies a week, with plenty of new extras now also on offer.

Cellar door manager Rob Dewar said the venue would offer a new range of food by Quality Inn caterers Margaret’s Restaurant as well as hot beverages, popcorn and ice-cream.

Mr Dewar has enlisted local businesses Combi Coffee and Yahava Koffee to cater at the venue throughout the season and said he was glad to have them on board.

“It’s really important to Cape Mentelle that we engage with as many local businesses as possible, ” he said.

“We’ve decided as part of our responsible service of alcohol to provide the best coffee and hot drinks in town.

“It’s a very engaging side of the business being a barista.”

Bean beds have been refreshed and more have been added to the collection this year to ensure a comfortable evening for viewers.

Mr Dewar said there would also be wine tasting on the evening from 6pm, and people would be able to wander through a joint exhibition with main street gallery Jah Roc.

He said the tastings would cost a small price, but that would guarantee the experience would be kept premium.

“You can come into the cellar door and taste test our wines with an educated, trained wine host, ” he said.

“We try not to use the word ‘luxury’ in anything because we think it’s embedded in everything we do anyway.”

Ticket sales for the movies will be live by the end of the week, and Mr Dewar said the movie selection was fairly impressive.

“We’re opening with Gone Girl, but we’ve also got the third movie in the … Hunger Games, ” he said.

Other movies to be shown throughout the season will include Interstellar and a special screening of White Christmas.

Movies at Cape Mentelle will run until April.
