Multi-award winning premium red and white wines, delicious food, unique gifts, great value and a charming setting.
Woody Nook Wines is a long established family-owned, winery that is small and unpretentious but which has received consistent critical acclaim for the quality of their premium wines. 

Nestled in the Margaret River wine-growing area of Western Australia and just a few miles from the Indian Ocean, Woody Nook is situated on a ridge of rich gravelly loam. Its original vines, planted almost forty years ago, are dry farmed, resulting in full fruit flavours and distinctive varietal characteristics. Whether you are familiar with Woody Nook’s crisp, fruit driven whites and rich, firmly-structured reds, or learning about them for the first time, the friendly and knowledgeable cellar door sales staff look forward to welcoming you and helping you to discover their range. 

 You can enjoy a browse of an excellent range of attractive wine-related gifts, many of them unique to Woody Nook in Australia, all selected with the tourist in mind – quirky, small, lightweight, and inexpensive. There is also a display of local art and jewellery in the Gallery tasting room. 

The Nookery Café is set against an impressive backdrop of jarrah and marri forest. It has a rustic, cosy charm both inside the cottage-style building and outside under the shady pergola or on the all-weather alfresco patio by the fish pond. There is also a grassy play area with swings for children and meals especially for them. 

Busselton-born Chef Johnathon Merrick and his team use as much of the local area’s meats, cheeses and seafood as possible to create both favourite dishes and daily specials, prepared quickly and served by efficient and friendly wait staff. 

Cosy and self-contained Woody Nook House is available for short term rental, with photos and information about its amenities found via the website linked above.

This winery restaurant is obviously very popular with a great atmosphere, the wine and service behind the counter was exceptional and very nice selection of wines and tastings. We were served by a very nice well mannered waiter of French origin when we ordered our meals, but we were obviously forgotten about completely for over an hour until I mentioned we hadn't received our meals. It was very busy and they were turning away customers because they were fully for birthday parties and other large groups, I enjoyed the meal I ordered and it was 5 star as was the wine I was consuming, however some of my companions weren't overly impressed with the quality and quantity of their meals, which they thought were very small serves for the price. Getting access to the bar area was difficult with all the tables and chairs blocking the path with the birthday party happening inside and the other access was full of people sampling wines etc. The carpark was packed and could be better laid out. However, i would definitely recommend a visit to this great little venue as the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful and I will be returning at a later date to hopefully give them a 5 star review.

Had lunch at Woody Nook this past weekend, my partner had as she described the best steak sandwich she had, had in a very long time. I had the steak and I can honestly say it is the best steak I have ever had. The service was first class from the moment we got there earlier than our booking. The wine tasting we had great conversation to the waiter second to none. Overall a great day. Thank you

We had some lunch and wine tasting and were so pleased by the quality of food. The wines are our favourite but we never had a chance to visit the winery before today, we will be visiting frequently. Love the beautiful location

Went here for lunch today It wasn’t awful but the food was very average. The waiter cleared the plates away while one person was still eating and another came and took away the glasses. No one asked if we wanted dessert or coffee. Won’t go back
