With over 200 wineries in the region, why do we visit these particular estates on our Margaret River wine tour? Because together they tell the complete story of Margaret River — from its famous founding estates to hidden family gems.
1. Leeuwin Estate
We start where the region’s reputation was cemented. Leeuwin Estate is one of Margaret River’s founding names and home of the world-famous Art Series Chardonnay — regarded among the finest white wines in the country. It’s a masterclass in the elegance, finesse and subtle oak the region is celebrated for.
2. Voyager Estate
A short drive into the historic Wilyabrup heartland brings us to Voyager Estate, known for its benchmark Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux-style blends. The grand Cape Dutch cellar door and manicured rose gardens make it one of the region’s most memorable stops.
3. Windance Estate
Near Yallingup and cooled by the coast, Windance is a family-owned boutique winery — small, personal and full of character. This is the kind of place where you might meet the family behind the label and hear the story behind each vintage over the tasting bench.
4. Happs
We finish among the vines at Happs, a much-loved family winery with one of the largest ranges of varietals you’ll taste anywhere in the region — from classic Cabernet to lesser-known Mediterranean grapes. There’s even a pottery gallery next door. A relaxed, welcoming end to the day.
The Varieties You’ll Taste
Across the day you’ll work through the region’s signatures: structured Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux-style blends, elegant Chardonnay, the crisp Sauvignon Blanc Semillon (SSB) that’s so easy to love on a warm day, and often a Shiraz or something unexpected to round things out. It’s a genuine cross-section of what makes Margaret River great, guided by someone who can explain each pour.
A Taste of Every Sub-Region
Between them, these estates span the classic Wilyabrup heartland and the cooler coastal sites around Yallingup, so you sample the full diversity of the region without planning a single route. Learn more in our local’s guide to the wine regions.
