Cape Naturaliste Vineyard

Reviewed By colleenb951 - Perth, Australia

Wow... Wow... Wow... Such a great experience! My husband and I recently had the chance to visit the South West and do some wine tastings. We were extremely impressed with our visit to this cellar door. Not only were their wines superb, but it was one of the most beautiful vineyards we've seen in our travels. To top it off, the staff were awesome and they were only too happy to spare their time and share with us their extensive knowledge of wine-making. It was such a great experience and we managed to buy some lovely wines too. Would definitely recommend and return in the not too distant future! Thanks Jen, Craig, Lisa, and their furry pets who also made our visit so enjoyable.

All the times I have visited Margaret River and this was my first time to Woodlands Wines. I have been missing out! Firstly the staff are amazing, really friendly, knowable & helpful. The cellar door is lovely and comfortable, very relaxing and the wines are great and reasonably priced. There is a snack menu with the most amazing cheese boards that are not to be missed. All in all, one of my favourite experiences this trip and I can't wait to return.

Fraser Gallop Estate

★★★★★ 5 Red Star James Halliday Winery "Fraser Gallop Estate has made a bigger impact on the Margaret River wine scene than any other winery established since the region's early days." Peter Forrestal With four trophies, including the prestigious Decanter World Wine Awards International Trophy for Best Bordeaux blend and nine gold medals for our Cabernet Sauvignon since the defining 2007 vintage, Fraser Gallop Estate is now recognised as one of Margaret River's premium wine producers.

Reviewed By 332pamelaf - Powell River, Canada

Last weekend we toured a number of wineries in the Margaret River area of Western Australia, always a treat and something to work into any WA vacation! My favourite tasting was at the Fraser Gallop Estate winery - the wines were very good and Peter, the sommelier, made it a truly delightful experience. He is knowledgeable, personable, engaging, and just a lovely person to spend time with while sipping excellent wines. Peter often set us up with two wines to taste side by side - perhaps oaked/unoaked, or 2013/2018 vintages of the same wines - which made for a more interesting experience. If you go, and I highly recommend that you do, be aware that there can be an up charge ($5) for some of the more expensive vintages. Have a look at the fancy new Italian machine that controls the temperature of the wines you are tasting while serving out a calibrated amount for you to sip.

Jarvis Estate

Since 1997 Jarvis Estate has excelled in wine production and offer the very best in Australian wine. Operated from the home vineyard in the heart of Margaret River, this world-class vineyard is also the family home of Matt & Jackie and their 3 daughters. Our red wine range includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz and Malbec. We also produce one of Margaret River’s best Cabernet Francs. Our award winning white wine varieties include estate grown Chardonnay, Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. We pride ourselves on being a true ‘estate’, one in which our grapes are grown, fermented and bottled entirely on our own property. By carefully controlling this process, we ensure a better quality wine for your enjoyment. Whilst the cellar door experience is highly sought after by visitors to Margaret River, we at Jarvis Estate like to offer wine lovers something a bit different. Instead of a traditional cellar door we offer free vineyard tours and tastings!

THE GROVE DISTILLERY & BREWERY

Where else can you find, a International Award winning distillery producing Top Shelf Spirits; a brewery that makes fantastic craft beer; cafe with homemade pizza; a cocktail bar using TGD delicious liqueurs; and secluded accommodation so you don't have to leave.

Reviewed By Lukov - Greater Perth, Australia

We popped by this afternoon on impulse - despite no notice the staff were happy to help us out with a distillery tour, which was entertaining and informative, particularlywhen it came to discussing ingredients used and the challenges of distilling in Australia vs other countries. Food was lovely (the scones are absolutely delicious!), and the quality of the spirits on offer excellent - the Turkish delight liqueur in particular i can easily see needing a repeat order. The surroundings are great - this is not an operation where quality has been skimped on at all, and it's extremely picturesque. Staff were all helpful and cheerful - my father and I had a wonderful time and are already looking forward to our next trip when we can spend more than a couple of hours here!

Woody Nook Wines

Reviewed By IanB3197 - Perth, Australia

Woody Nook is one of the smaller wineries in the Margaret River region, but for all it lacks in size it more than makes up for in the superb quality of its wines and the food served in its cafe. I personally am not a lover of Chardonnay but the Woody Nook product pleases even my pallet. But the crown here has to be taken by the superb Nooky Delight (port), one of the finest port style fortified wines you will find anywhere in Western Australia and well worth the journey from Perth just for this alone. Friendly and accommodating staff and excellenty prepared local produce, including the exceptionally fine tasting plate for two, and a range of beautiful desserts including spectacular homemade ice cream, just add to the highly enjoyable experience.

After reading the enormous amounts of accolades Flametree wines have recently received for their SRS Chardonnay, we had to stop in to taste for ourselves. We had such a wonderful experience with the knowledgeable & friendly Cellar Door girls who spent the time to have a chat & really made us feel so welcome that we joined their Flametree Family Membership. We're delighted to support a local business, have our twice yearly allocation of 'liquid souvenirs' plus be guests at their bi-annual events where we receive complimentary canapes, wine & get to meet the Flametree Family.
