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.

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 ????

Willespie

The Willespie vineyard began it's journey in 1976, when Kevin and Marian Squance and their four children planted 3.9 hectares of verdelho, semillon, riesling and cabernet sauvignon fruit. Forty years and many accolades later, the vineyard has gracefully grown in size along with the four children who have now taken over the reins to this unique piece of land in the Margaret River wine region. Our Wilyabrup property spans over 40 hectares and is a stunning backdrop for a wine tasting at cellar door, dream wedding or special event. Willespie is a boutique, family owned and operated vineyard with a long held passion for creating excellent wines.

Delicious wine & a great range from sparkling to whites, Rose & Reds! Low key winery with friendly staff & chilled atmosphere. Probably the best wine I’ve tried in the Margaret River region with reasonable prices.

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.

Evans & Tate

The home of Evans & Tate is our Redbrook Cellar Door, located in the heart of the Wilyabrup wine region. Nestled among some of Margaret River’s oldest vines, the Evans & Tate Cellar Door offers a stunning setting to enjoy a complimentary tasting of the current vintages of Evans & Tate wines.

We have been here a few times and always go back for the excellent service. If you are looking for a down-to-earth tasting experience where you will be comfortable asking wine questions without feeling like a fool...this is your spot. Always welcoming, good selections of reds and whites at reasonable prices and a beautiful location. Put this one on your list of wineries to visit while you’re in Margaret River.

Beautiful views, wonderful staff, excellent food and amazing Rose. Will be buying more of the Rose from Knotting Hill Winery - reasonably priced for Margaret River. The platters are good value and very tasty. Sitting on the balcony overlooking the lake and vineyards was a perfect way to spend a relaxing afternoon. Definitely top notch winery.

Voted one of Australia's top 100 gourmet experiences by Australian Traveller Magazine. Providore is a food and wine lovers paradise! Come in and sample our delicious condiments, dressings and spice mixes. Daily wine and chocolate liqueur tastings. Walk through our organic garden and see the produce being made in our production kitchen.

Wow this place was irresistible. After visiting the chocolate factory, you can take the internal road next door to Providore. Those that love their spices, gourmet goodies as well as wine will love this. Free wine tasting up the back. Clean metal spoons to taste the jams etc. My kids loved the strawberry jam. The wine pictured I bought was smooth. And they have chocolate liqueur! It's worth the drive next door!

Bootleg Brewery

Reviewed By 618grahamh - Auckland, New Zealand

An awesome platter lunch [smoked salmon, ham, chicken, salad cheese and dips plus home baked bread] served with numerous craft beers brewed on site make this a memorable lunch stop. Take a wander around the brewery itself and listen to the well informed narrative on brewing and finish with a stop in the gift shop. Although I was on a coach tour around Margaret River, this pit stop really added to the trip.
