MARGARET RIVER

This tour is perfect for those that want to explore the Southern (and often forgotten about) half of the Margaret River wine region, in the company of only their friends and family, whilst offering an unparalleled level of privacy!

 what’s included

• Pick up and drop off at your accommodation anywhere within the Margaret River wine region.

• We start the day with a scenic drive down Caves Road with with our destination being either ‘Jewel Cave’. The biggest show cave in Western Australia comprising three massive chambers, and whilst here you will explore an ancient crystal wonderland on a guided tour. Alternatively, our route could take us to the stunning ‘Hamelin Bay’, a must-do on many a holiday schedule, offering a vast expanse of bright white sand, turquoise waters filled with marine life, and spectacular coastal cliff walks. And if the bay is sheltered it's also possible that you will spot a stingray, as they often swim close to the shoreline. (weather dependent)

• From there we head to the ‘Glenarty Road’ cellar door/farmhouse café/restaurant. Here you will sit down with an in-house wine lover to explore their Wildlings and Kinfolk collections. From the ground to the glass, you will learn how their wines are regeneratively farmed, respectfully hand crafted and made for wholesome good times. This in depth flight style tasting of 6 wines will be curated to match the season and your personal drinking preferences with a spread of freshly baked bread, house-made cheese, farm snacks and charcuterie.

  And this is where you will have a collective choice to make:

• A magnificent granite entry leads to a contemporary space overlooking al fresco decking and lawns. Here at Hamelin Bay Wines you’ll want to linger over your wine in this peaceful atmosphere, enjoying the stunning vista of vines, valley, lake and forest. Their friendly, knowledgeable team will guide you through our fresh, elegant White wines and full deep Red wines.

• Or we could include a visit to ‘Si Vintners’ a heartfelt natural farming and winemaking project, where their idiosyncratic wines are pushing the boundaries of Margaret River wine. There's a purity and balance inherent in everything they produce, with wines built from the roots up. This is one of the most exciting projects in Margaret River today.

• Or you could visit AMATO VINO a small batch artisan winemaker offering a tantalising range of emerging Mediterranean varieties, micro-batches, skinsy ferments and other eclectic wines. Also featuring single vineyards, hand-picks, natural ferments – and incorporating minimal winemaking input using unconventional vessels for fermentation/maturation – this is the wild stuff!

Here you will participate in an engaging and informative winery tour, and uncover the artistry of traditional winemaking practiced at Mr Barval. Then, indulge in a comprehensive wine tasting that showcases five wines from their Core and Riserva ranges, each crafted with passion and expertise. A grazing platter of local produce will accompany the tasting.
