1 to 4 hours
This small-group winery tour gives you more than a standard tasting. You’ll head behind the scenes at Cape Mentelle to see how the vineyard, coastal location and winemaking approach all shape the wines. It’s a good pick if you want a bit of context with your tasting, rather than just turning up at the cellar door for a quick sample. The experience finishes with a structured tasting of current release wines.
Why backpackers love it
If you’re travelling through Margaret River and want to do a winery visit properly, this gives you more substance than a basic tasting without turning into a full-day commitment. The group size stays small, the guide-led format makes it easy if you don’t know much about wine, and the tasting at the end means you still get the fun part after learning how it all comes together. At $50, it sits more in the interested traveller category than the ultra-budget one, but for people keen on wine, it offers solid value.
Over 90 minutes, a guide takes you through the vineyard and winery, explaining how the fruit is assessed and how the team works towards wines with freshness, structure and elegance. The focus is on terroir and the role of Cape Mentelle’s coastal setting in the winemaking philosophy. After the tour, you’ll return to the Cellar Door for a guided tasting of the current release range. Group sizes are limited to 10 per booking, so it should feel fairly personal rather than crowded. Closed-in flat shoes are required, and the tour runs in all weather.
