Margaret River
Margaret River Trail
The south-west corner of Western Australia, where Cabernet and surf breaks coexist. Small-batch chocolate, craft breweries, and cellar doors run by families who planted the original vines.
Brown Hill Estate
925 Rosa Brook Rd, Rosa Brook WA 6285, Australia
Mon–Sun 10am–5pm
The Bailey family named their 24-hectare Rosa Brook vineyard after the Kalgoorlie goldmine claim their great-grandparents worked. That lineage runs through the wines too — cabernet sauvignon, shiraz, merlot and chardonnay grown in lateritic gravel, hand-picked and hand-sorted berry by berry. The tasting room centres on a jarrah slab table resting on oak barrels. Ten minutes from Margaret River town, it feels considerably further away.
Yallingup Galleries
Caves Rd, Yallingup WA 6282, Australia
Mon–Sun 10am–4pm
Purpose-built in bushland at the Caves Road entrance to the Margaret River wine region, this gallery run by Matthew and Emma represents recognised Australian artists across painting, jewellery, sculpture, glassware, ceramics and furniture. Current works include oils by Chris Martin priced to $10,500 and ceramics by Toni Salmon. The range is broad; the setting does most of the work.
Margaret River Roasting Co
Unit 1/18 Burler Drive, Vasse WA 6280
Mon–Fri 7am–2:30pm · Sat 8am–1pm
Margaret River Roasting Co. sources its Yira Yarkiny single origin from Jack Murat farm in Mareeba, North Queensland — beans grown in volcanic soil at the highest point of the Great Dividing Range. A portion of each sale goes to Children's Ground, a First Nations organisation. The roastery also runs a café and coffee cart on site.
Cape Lodge
3341 Caves Road
Forty acres of parkland and a private eight-acre vineyard in Yallingup, with 22 rooms and a restaurant that draws serious attention for its kitchen-garden-to-table seasonal menus. Vasse Felix, Moss Wood, Pierro and Cullen are all nearby. The kind of place where the programme — pool, tennis, walking trails, wine country — makes it difficult to leave.
Wine For Dudes
2/26 Minchin Way, Margaret River WA 6285, Australia
Mon–Fri 9am–5pm
Running since 2003, Wine for Dudes was built on a simple Italian observation: tradesmen eat a two-course lunch with wine on a Tuesday and nobody bats an eye. Tours take in Margaret River's 150-plus wineries with access that comes from two decades of contacts — barrel tastings, winemaker introductions, wine blending sessions. The name is self-aware. The cellar door discounts are real.
McHenry Hohnen Vintners
10412 Bussell Hwy, Witchcliffe WA 6286, Australia
Mon–Sun 10:30am–4:30pm
Biodynamic, single-vineyard farming shapes everything at McHenry Hohnen — from the Syrah and Tempranillo in the glass to the seasonal plates coming out of the Vintner's Kitchen. The Witchcliffe cellar door is open seven days, unhurried, and built around the idea that what's growing nearby should match what you're drinking.

1/139-141 Bussell Hwy, Margaret River WA 6285, Australia
