Wine Tours in Margaret River

Margaret River is in South Western Australia located in a beautiful valley 172 miles south of Perth. To the west of the town sits the coast which is famous for surfing events. But today is all about wine, as many of us believe it is the best wine region in the country.

Many Different Wine Tours Available

Depending on the amount of time available, there are many different wine tours that you will want to take. Margaret River is warm in summer with a Mediterranean-style climate and rain falls over winter usually in the months between May and August, and because it doesn’t get too cold visit Margaret River at any time of the year.

The Wine region stretches for 55 square km, with more than 138 wineries, some very small in operation crushing about 3 tonnes of grapes a year. The area as a whole has over 20% of the Australian premium wine market. Humidity levels are perfect during the growing season, and the right combinations of climate and soil lead to high-quality fruit with amazing flavors. Many say that Margaret River is similar to the Bordeaux region (France) in climatic conditions.

Half Day Tours

Wine tours in Margaret River can take you to several places in a day, and one of these is:

  •  A family-owned winery that uses traditional wine-making methods. While you are visiting you will be offered samples of premium wine ranges, and learn more about the history of the winery from the tour guides. Observe the wine-making process as the cellar door is located within the vineyard, helping to make your visit special.
  • This estate is described as a sustainable business focusing on ‘minimal intervention winemaking. The team who operates the biodynamic process says that a better environment leads to better wine. You will taste some delicious wines and then have a snack that includes the property’s famous free-range meats, including some smoked meats.
  • Another wine tour in Margaret River to a genuine boutique winery. You will enjoy this visit as you stop for lunch. The history dates back to 1882 when the first vines were planted, and you will taste a variety of their wines with some lovely fruity whites.
