    Vasse Felix planted the first vines here in 1967 and the region has grown into a modern-day classic. Thanks to its isolation, however, Margaret River wineries are mostly small, family-run operations focused on quality and sustainability.

    With these conditions, the wineries of Margaret River continue to dominate the Australian wine landscape in terms of quality and ageability.
