Experience the Essence of Margaret River: Beyond Ordinary Wine Tours
Margaret River is renowned worldwide for its wine tours, boutique wineries, pristine coastline and abundant gourmet experiences. Search for Margaret River wine tours, Busselton wine tours, or even Dunsborough wine tours, and you’ll find dozens of operators promising to showcase the region’s wineries, breweries or gourmet delights. Yet travellers with only a day or two often struggle to decide which tour will deliver the most memorable experience.
This is where Margaret River Discovery Co. stands out. Our award‑winning tours are designed specifically for visitors who want to capture the region’s highlights when time is precious. You’ll enjoy all the top experiences promised by other tour operators– from iconic Margaret River wine tours to tastings at boutique wineries – but with a level of personalisation and exclusivity unmatched by larger operators.
This is why we like to call the experience “the tour for people who don’t do tours!”
Discover the Best of Margaret River in a Single Day
Our Margaret River Discovery Tour weaves together private wine tours, breathtaking coastal walks, ancient forests and rich cultural heritage into a seamless day. Imagine starting your morning with a guided canoe on the tranquil Margaret River, then walking a stretch of the Cape to Cape Track where coastal cliffs meet turquoise seas. Unlike standard winery tours, you’ll experience the landscapes that make Margaret River unique.
After immersing yourself in nature, the day moves to what many guests call the highlight: an exclusive winery lunch at one of Western Australia’s premier estates. While competitors may offer top‑notch winery tours and tastings, our partnership secures a private table in the barrel room at Fraser Gallop Estate. You’ll indulge in a gourmet lunch featuring local produce, paired with estate wines, creating an unforgettable moment that normal tours simply can’t replicate.
Small‑Group, Personalised Service
The difference begins with our group size. Rather than filling a bus with dozens of guests, we limit each tour to a small number (maximum of six people), allowing true personalised service. Your guide is Sean Bocksidge (winner of WA Guide of the Year), a passionate local who tailors the day to your interests, whether that’s diving deep into viticulture, learning about local culture and history, or venturing “off the beaten track” in a luxury 4WD. This intimate approach delivers the best of both worlds: the exclusivity of a private wine tour and the camaraderie of a small group.
Our vehicle is a luxury Landrover Discovery 4WD that grants access to secluded locations – beaches, forest and ancient landscapes that large coaches cannot reach. While other operators highlight beer and spirits tours or brewery tours, we focus on curating a balanced day that reflects Margaret River’s natural beauty, gourmet culture and world‑class wines.
A Feast for the Senses: Exclusive Winery Lunch
Dining is an integral part of our tour. After a morning of exploration, you’ll enjoy a behind the scenes winery experience and leisurely lunch at an estate regarded as one of Western Australia’s best wineries. Expect local produce – locals meats, artisan cheeses, seasonal farm vegetables – paired with award‑winning Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. This is more than a meal; it’s an immersion into the region’s gourmet heritage, satisfying travellers seeking gourmet tours and boutique wine experiences.
