Exploring Margaret River’s Finest: A Premium Full Day Tour

When it comes to wine, food, and scenic beauty, Margaret River in Australia consistently delivers. This Premium Full Day Tour offers an indulgent way to explore the region’s best while enjoying a relaxed, gourmet experience. For $206.79 per person, you’ll spend approximately nine hours discovering boutique wineries, tasting expert-curated wines and cheeses, and savoring a three-course vineyard lunch. Led by knowledgeable guides (like the glowing reviews mention), this small-group tour (max 6 travelers) combines comfort, authenticity, and a touch of luxury.

Two aspects we particularly appreciate are the carefully curated stops—each offering a unique flavor of Margaret River—and the focus on genuine, locally produced food and drink. The guided coffee tour at Yahava Koffeeworks sets a perfect relaxed tone in the morning, while the seated tastings at Howard Park and Peacetree Estate provide intimate opportunities to savor wines. The highlight for many is the three-course lunch overlooking the vineyard at Vasse Felix, paired with two glasses of wine, which makes the experience both exquisite and memorable.

That said, a potential consideration for travelers is the non-refundable nature of the booking. Should your plans change or the weather turn sour, you’ll need to reschedule or accept a full loss. But given the positive reviews praising the well-planned itinerary and expert guidance, this tour suits those eager to indulge in a top-tier, hassle-free exploration of Margaret River’s culinary gems.
