Half Day Wine & Food Tour

Experience the Tastes of Margaret River

Are you craving the ultimate escape down south, but don’t want to break the bank? Perhaps a girl’s or couples’ trip, where you can indulge on wine, cheese and chocolate - with someone else as the designated driver? Harvest Tours is here to help! We offer an affordable Half Day Wine & Food Tour, which gives you the opportunity to taste local produce and premium wines from all around the Margaret River region.

Our half day Margaret River tours are the ideal snapshot of the region for those of you who don’t have much time, but still want to experience the area. Also, unlike most wine tours, we focus on the most delectable local foods that are on offer in the region as well - because who doesn’t want some cheese with their wine?

Tour Highlights

Brown Hill Estate

Our first stop is Brown Hill Estate - a family owned and operated vineyard, with a passionate team that utilises traditional wine-making methods such as hand picking and sorting the fruit. They specialise in using small, intensely flavoured grapes, which create deeper, richer wines.

During our visit, you will taste samples from each of their premium wine ranges, and as the cellar door is located within the vineyards, you can observe the wine-making processes happening outside as well. We also have the opportunity to tour the barrel room and learn more about the history of the winery from their trusted experts.

McHenry Hohnen Vineyard

The second winery on our journey is McHenry Hohnen vineyard - a forward-thinking, sustainable business that focuses on biodynamic farming and minimal intervention wine-making. The team behind the process are advocates for this natural approach, and believe their grapes are even more high-quality because of it. As their vineyard manager Mike says ‘a better environment gives you better wine.’

You will have a few chances to test Mike’s theory with a series of delicious wine tastings, followed by sampling the farm’s renowned free-range, grass-fed meats - which can be enjoyed either cured or smoked.

Woody Nook Wines

Woody Nook Wines is the third vineyard on our trip, and also the spot where we will be stopping for lunch. They are a genuine boutique winery, with a rich history dating back to 1982 when they planted the first vines.The cellar door is idyllically located, with peaceful jarrah and karri forest as a backdrop - the perfect place to sip wines and enjoy the serenity. During our visit, we will taste a variety of their wines, including their signature crisp, fruity whites and rich, structured reds.

After the wine tasting, we will head to The Nookery Cafe, where you can have a full glass of wine and gorge on a range of local produce with their sharing plate - this offers gourmet cheeses, homemade hummus, cold cuts, seafood and fruits.
