Perth to Margaret River: Wine Tasting & Busselton Jetty Day Tour
A Day in Margaret River: Three Wineries, One Long Jetty, and Why You'll Want to Stay
You spend the day moving between three Margaret River vineyards with wine tastings at each, sit down to a three-course lunch with paired premium wines at a cellar door, walk out to Busselton Jetty and Canal Rocks for photographs, and taste local chocolate and olive oil along the way. Private transport from Perth is included, so you're not driving yourself or catching a group shuttle — the vehicle and timing are yours for the day.

The Experience
There's something about driving south from Perth that shifts the air. You leave the city behind around 8am, and by the time Caves Road opens up in front of you, you're already thinking about what comes next — and it's not just the wine. The Margaret River wine region sits about two hours from Perth, and this day tour threads through it deliberately: coffee and cake at Crooked Carrot Cafe first, then into the vineyards themselves. You'll taste at two different estates, which means you're not just sipping in one place and calling it done. The guide handles the driving, so you can actually pay attention to what's in the glass.
Lunch lands at one of three properties — Clairault Streicker, Aravina Estate, or Vasse Felix, depending on the day — and it's the kind of meal that takes time. Three courses, premium wines paired through, and the cellar door experience built right in. You're not rushed through it. After that, the tour pivots toward the coast. Canal Rocks in Yallingup overlooks the Indian Ocean from a dramatic angle, the kind of view that makes you understand why people stop to photograph it. Then comes Busselton Jetty, Australia's longest wooden jetty, stretching out into the water like it's got somewhere to be. It's a straightforward walk, but the light changes everything — morning and afternoon look completely different out there.
Between the wine stops, there are smaller moments: Gabriel's Chocolates for a taste, Vasse Virgin for olive oil. These aren't long detours, but they're the texture of the day — the reason it doesn't feel like you're just ticking boxes. The whole thing runs about nine hours door-to-door, which means you're back in Perth by evening. Private transport throughout means no coordinating pickups or worrying about timing between stops; the driver knows the route and the schedule, and you just move through it.

How long is the drive from Perth to Margaret River?
About two hours each way. The tour departs Perth in the morning and returns by evening, with the remaining time split between transport and the stops themselves.
Which winery do we have lunch at?
One of three: Clairault Streicker, Aravina Estate, or Vasse Felix. The operator confirms which venue on the day based on availability.
Is wine tasting included, or do I pay extra?
Wine tastings are included at the vineyards. The three-course lunch comes with premium wine pairings included as well.
Can I skip the chocolate and olive oil stops?
These are brief stops built into the itinerary, but you're not obligated to purchase anything. They're tasting opportunities, not shopping requirements.
What if I don't drink alcohol?
You can choose your drink at Crooked Carrot Cafe at the start. For the vineyard tastings and lunch, speak with the operator beforehand about non-alcoholic alternatives.
Is there time to walk the Busselton Jetty?
Yes. The jetty is included as a photo stop, and you'll have time to walk out onto it. It's Australia's longest wooden jetty, so the walk is straightforward.
What's the group size?
The tour uses private transport, so group size depends on your booking. It's not a large coach tour.
What should I wear?
Comfortable walking shoes for the jetty and Canal Rocks. The weather in Margaret River can change, so a light layer is sensible. Sun protection is a good idea.
