This full-day Margaret River tour is a solid way to get your bearings while tasting your way around the region. It goes beyond standard cellar door stops, with a mix of wine experiences, food tastings and commentary on the area's history, Indigenous significance and wine scene. Lunch is included, along with pickup and drop-off from accommodation in the Margaret River area, so it is an easy option if you do not want to organise a driver or plan the route yourself.
It is priced more like a proper full-day tour than a budget outing, but you do get a broad look at what the region offers. If you are early in your stay, it can also help you work out what else you want to come back and do.
Why backpackers love it
The big draw here is convenience. You get picked up and dropped off locally, lunch is sorted, and you can sample a range of Margaret River experiences without needing a car. That makes it especially handy if you are travelling without your own transport or only have a short window in the region.
It is also useful as an early-trip planner. Because the guide shares background on the area and other worthwhile stops, the tour can help you figure out where to spend the rest of your time. It is not the cheapest day out, but for backpackers who want an easy, social overview with a decent spread of tastings, it offers good value.
Over roughly seven hours, you will visit a range of venues across the Margaret River region. The day includes cellar door visits, with some venues offering discounts and special buys, plus a more personal barrel room wine experience at Brown Hill Estate. You will also stop for chocolate and nougat tastings, and there is cheese and crackers during one of the wine tastings.
Lunch is provided at a venue chosen for its country setting, and comes with a craft beer, a glass of local wine or a soft drink. Bottled water is available on board. The guide provides commentary throughout the day, covering local history, wine knowledge and ideas for other places to check out in the region. Keep in mind that while venue entry is included, some tasting fees may still apply.
