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.
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.

"What an excellent tour. Our guide Steve was so informative and knew the area very well. This is not a normal wine tour - we visited local sights, coffee works, cheese factory, chocolate factory, skin care factory, beaches, brewery and of course wineries. The lunch at Xanadu was first class and so delicious. This tour represented excellent value - the best we have experienced - well done Harvest and particularly Steve our wonderful guide."

"Our Harvest tour was awesome! Clarice, our driver, was so personable and knowledgeable. As it turned out, there were only 2 couples booked on our weekday tour and so we got a really personal experience. We loved that the tour showcased both the food and wine of the region. The whole day was very relaxed and we never felt rushed or pushed for time. There are so many tour companies operating in the region and we felt so lucky to have chosen the perfect one!"

"Steve and his family have excelled at designing and executing a small group tour that highlights the beautiful Margaret River region. You will learn not only about the exquisite wines but also the community and ecology of the area. Steve is an absolutely fantastic tour guide that will leave you not wanting for anything more from your day. My partner and I lost track of time and glasses of wine between the coffee tasting start and brewery finish and we would not have changed a thing. Highly recommend!"
