Brown Hill has been a long time favourite. At our latest visit, we had the bonus of Nathan Bailey (winemaker) conducting the tasting. It was great to get down to real nitty gritty of the wine making as well as the wines. All wines were available for tasting. Another bonus was Angus (also winemaker) was running a rack and return process on some red wine and was only too happy to talk us through the process as he did it. It is such a friendly family run winery.

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.

Carpe Diem Vineyards

We are a family owned and run vineyard and we process our grapes in our own state-of-the-art winery, concealed in an unassuming green shed on the property. The entire winemaking process, from growing, picking and crushing the grapes, to bottling the wine is carried out on the premises. Everything is done with a touch of European tradition and style! Our exclusive tastings will provide a special insight into how these wines are made, while talking to one of us! We are on Johnson Road, between the Award Winning KNEE DEEP Restaurant and the Iconic BOOTLEG Brewery. Thank you and looking forward to see you! Gianfranco and Francesca

We were taken her by our wine tour guide Alex from unwind tours. We were lucky enough to have Gianfranco the wine maker so our tasting! Gianfranco is an absolute delight and we had such a great time . Their wines are just wonderful with many Italian varieties. We would definitely go back on our next visit to Margs ????

Cape Grace Wines

Visit one of the great little wineries? Cape Grace Wines is a 'single vineyard' family owned and operated winery. Meet Robert or Karen Karri-Davies at the Cellar Door and discover the insights into being a small producer. You may see some action in the winery. Cape Grace with their handcrafted wines, are generous with the flavour and character of Margaret River. The red wines are hand plunged and basket pressed. Limited quantities of the single vineyard wines are available only from the cellar door. Wines in the range include the flagship Cabernet Sauvignon, an elegant Shiraz, Cabernet/Shiraz - a Classic Australian Blend, a complex wood aged Chardonnay, a dry Chenin Blanc and a delicious Cane Cut Chenin Blanc dessert wine. Very limited production with wines being sold at the Cellar Door and mail.
