You start the morning hand-feeding emus and alpacas at a private property, then move through three rotating boutique wineries where you often meet the winemakers themselves. Lunch is Italian-inspired food eaten among olive groves, with tastings of their oils and local products. The day includes a coastal stop where dolphins are common, and ends with insider tips for Margaret River town. Hotel pickup and drop-off are built in.
There's something about walking onto a private farm before nine in the morning, scone in hand, that makes you forget you're on a tour at all. You hand-feed emus and alpacas while the sun's still low, then settle into morning tea with fresh scones, jam, cream, and locally roasted coffee — the kind of quiet start that sets the whole day differently. After that comes a guided chocolate tasting right there at the farm, where you can taste how the roaster and tea producer work, no script, just the real thing.
Then you move through three handpicked boutique wineries across Margaret River, and this is where the day opens up. The wineries rotate — you won't get the same three twice — so you're tasting wines that actually reflect what the region grows, not what fits a template. On most days you'll talk to the owners or winemakers themselves, walk through their vineyards and barrel rooms, and understand why they chose to stay small instead of chasing volume. It's the kind of conversation that doesn't happen on a bus full of thirty people. Between wineries, there's a coastal stop where you can watch for dolphins in the Indian Ocean, and if you're there at the right time of year, whales migrate past the surfers.
Lunch lands you at an olive farm — you taste their oils and olive products first, then eat an Italian-inspired farm-to-plate meal right in the groves. It's not fancy in a stiff way; it's the kind of food that tastes like someone who knows the land cooked it. After lunch, you head back through Margaret River town centre, and your guide drops local recommendations as you go — where the best gelato actually is, which bars have live music, which restaurants are worth the drive back later. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, so you don't have to think about navigation or parking.
