The signature grapes

Cabernet & Chardonnay Tastings in Margaret River

Margaret River produces a small share of Australia's wine and a remarkable share of its finest - and it is Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay that made its name. A day built around these two grapes is the region at its most convincing.

Cabernet with structure and grace

Cabernet Sauvignon offers a useful starting point for exploring Margaret River. Comparing wines from different sites and producers can reveal differences in structure, fruit and texture. Tell us the styles you enjoy so we can look for suitable tastings.

Exploring Chardonnay

A Chardonnay tasting can explore the balance between fruit, acidity, oak and texture. Comparing wines side by side, where that experience is available, can help you understand which styles you prefer.

Frequently asked questions

How do you choose Cabernet and Chardonnay tastings?

We start with the styles you enjoy, then check the tastings available for your dates and route. The selection may vary with the wines being poured and the experiences each venue can confirm.

Can we buy and ship wine home?

Many cellar doors sell wine directly. Shipping options, destinations, duties and import requirements vary, so please confirm them with the winery before buying, especially for international delivery. We can let the venue know you would like to discuss shipping.

Is tipping expected at wineries and restaurants?

Tipping is generally optional in Australia, including at wineries and restaurants. If you feel the service was exceptional, you can leave a tip, but there is no standard percentage. Displayed consumer prices generally include GST where applicable.

How far is Margaret River from Perth?

The Margaret River wine region sits around a three-hour drive south of Perth - roughly 270 kilometres of easy highway and coast road. Many guests treat it as an overnight or two-night escape rather than a single long day; we can arrange a private chauffeur for the drive down so the day begins the moment you leave the city.
