It’s not a secret that the Margaret River Region is home to some of the world’s most special wineries — but did you know that many of them come with a priceless yet fully complimentary view?

One of the world’s leading wine critics, Jancis Robinson, described Margaret River as ‘as close to paradise as I have been on wine travels.’ Backed up by the region’s award-winning wines, spectacular views and passionate wine producers, we won’t argue with that.

Here’s a list of 19 wineries to help you plan an itinerary that’s a feast for your eyes as well as your taste buds.

Whicher Ridge

Located off the beaten track in the Geographe Wine Region, the beautiful Wine Sensory Garden at Whicher Ridge is the centrepiece of the wine-tasting experience. Fruit trees, herbs, flowers and seasonal vegetables that match the texture and styles of the wines, you can do a self-guided tour around the garden or book a Pick and Sip Tour with the winemaker.

Pair this experience with their award-winning wines or a refreshing glass of gin and tonic, made from spirits distilled onsite.
