Margaret River Wine Tour: 3 Wineries & Brewery Lunch

A Royal Cabernet and a Converted Hay Shed: Margaret River's Working Side

A small-group wine tour from Busselton visiting three Margaret River wineries with generous tastings, lunch at a working brewery set on a former dairy farm, and hotel pickup included. The group stays small enough that you get real time with winemakers and cellar door staff instead of moving through as a crowd. Your guide is a local wine expert who shares the region's stories as you travel between venues.

The experience

Your driver picks you up from your Busselton accommodation at 9:30am in a spacious, air-conditioned vehicle and heads into Margaret River wine country. On the drive, your guide (someone who knows the region's wines and vineyards) answers questions and sets up what you're about to taste. The itinerary shifts based on what's open and what the group is interested in, so you might visit a family-owned winery known for minimal-intervention small-batch wines, or Passel Estate, where fine wine and wildlife conservation sit side by side on a serene vineyard. One stop is always Fermoy Estate, home to the cabernet sauvignon that was served at the wedding of Denmark's Crown Prince Frederik and Princess Mary.

Midway through the day you arrive at Beerfarm, a converted hay shed on 160 acres of Australian bushland that used to be a dairy farm. The lunch is pub-style but elevated (fresh local produce, craft brews on tap, and an extensive wine list) with dietary options built in. You eat and drink at your own pace, surrounded by the kind of place locals actually gather, not a tourist version of one.

After lunch, a third winery rounds out the afternoon. Time permitting, there's a stop at a local providore or chocolatier before the scenic drive back to your accommodation. The final stop is optional drinks at another winery or brewery at your own cost, a chance to wind down with the group if you want it. Plan for roughly six hours on the road and at venues, plus pickup and drop-off time. Allow up to seven and a half hours total. Dietary requirements, accessibility needs or other special requests need to be flagged at least seven days ahead.
