Why is Margaret River wine so good?
Situated in the beautiful southwest corner of Australia, Margaret River boasts a maritime climate. This means that it enjoys mild, wet winters and warm, dry summers - ideal conditions for vine-growing.
This climate, coupled with its geographical isolation, provides a safe haven from many of the pests and diseases that plague other wine regions, ensuring that the vines are healthy and robust.
But it’s not just the weather that's magic here. The soils in Margaret River are ancient and gravelly, providing perfect drainage as well as vital minerals to the vines.
What wines can you flavour in Margaret River?
Wines that are intensely flavoured, with a robust structure and deep, rich colour, embodying a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. Margaret River's Cabernet Sauvignon is noted for its ripe fruit flavours with a hint of eucalyptus, making it stand out in the global arena of wines.
The region's Chardonnay is equally celebrated, displaying an extraordinary range of flavours and styles. Due to the cool climate, these grapes ripen slowly, developing complexity and depth along the way.
What else can you find in the Margaret River region?
Margaret River, while illustrious for its exquisite wines, is equally a canvas painted with unparalleled scenic beauty, offering its visitors a diverse palette of picturesque landscapes, pristine beaches, and mysterious ancient caves.
Beyond the lush vineyards, the land subtly transitions into enchanting forests that house centuries-old trees, standing tall as guardians of the land's ancient tales and secrets. This is the perfect place for hiking and mountain biking in deep-green nature.
As you move further, the forests make way for Margaret River’s majestic coastline, a harmonious blend of rugged beauty and serene retreats. Here, pristine beaches with golden sands meet the relentless waves of the crystal-clear ocean, creating a spectacle of nature’s raw power and tranquil allure.
These beaches are not just a haven for sun-seekers but also provide a scenic backdrop for adventure seekers engaging in surfing and beach fishing.
But the Margaret River's wonders don't just reside above ground. Beneath the surface, the land cradles a labyrinth of ancient caves, each with its own unique character and mystique.
These subterranean marvels, formed over a million years, showcase stunning formations of stalactites and stalagmites, narrating a geological history that is as captivating as it is complex.

"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!"
