Meet the pioneers and disruptors of wine

To uncover the story of Margaret River’s rich winemaking tradition, pay a visit to Leeuwin Estate and Vasse Felix. These two founding pillars help lay the foundation for the region’s world-class chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon production. Then see something new at Subsea Estate, where the wine is stored in the ocean and stirred by powerful swells. Finish up at Olio Bello, where 8,000 olive trees produce unbeatable organic olive oil.

Rest easy in wine country with a stay at Ampersand Estates Winery. This vineyard retreat was built for total seclusion and offers three unique stays – the riverside Homestead, the elevated Vintner’s Residence and the quaint Settler’s Cottage. Each is hugged by the estate’s oldest vines, the Donnelly River and the towering, ancient karri forest. Dig into your locally sourced breakfast hamper, enjoy a private wine tasting, wander the estate’s gardens or unwind by the pretty lake.

Break out of your comfort zone and dive into the unbeatable natural landscape of the region with a Margaret River Adventure Co tour. Bike the beach or forest trails, plunge from rocks into the ocean, snorkel the Ngair Marine Park and swim alongside giant stingrays. For a more food-focused approach, book a Forage Safari and let a local lead you along the back roads directly to the growers, makers and vintners that make the region’s bounty so prolific.
