Wineries
With 200 wine producers to explore, most of which are boutique, family-run businesses, Margaret River is unique in Australia. Let’s explore the wineries together.
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.
