Margaret River, Western Australia
Private Margaret River Winery Tours
Margaret River rewards the unhurried. Rather than a fixed coach route and a rush between five cellar doors, a Tailor Moments day is built around the wineries, food and pace that suit you — and every stop is confirmed with the estate before you set out.
A day shaped around you, not a timetable
Margaret River is a generous region — more than ninety cellar doors between the karri forest and the Indian Ocean, from the founding estates of Wilyabrup to the quiet edges of Karridale and Rosa Brook. Trying to see all of it is the surest way to see none of it well.
We begin with a short conversation about what you love — structured Cabernet, elegant Chardonnay, a long lunch, a garden to sit in — and build a day of three or four considered visits with room to breathe between them. Nothing is rushed, and nothing is generic.
Every visit confirmed before you arrive
The cellar doors we place at the centre of your day are booked and confirmed with the winery in advance, not left to a walk-in queue. You arrive expected, with a table held and your preferences already noted.
That confirmation step is the quiet luxury of the platform: no uncertainty, no double-backing, and a day that unfolds exactly as planned.
Frequently asked questions
- 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.
- How many wineries can I visit in a day?
- Three or four is the comfortable, enjoyable number — enough to taste widely and eat well without the day feeling like a checklist. We would rather you linger over a great lunch than dash between eight cellar doors.
- Do I need a visa to visit Western Australia?
- Most international visitors need a visa or an ETA (Electronic Travel Authority) arranged before travelling to Australia — the type depends on your passport. Please confirm the current requirement for your nationality with the Australian Department of Home Affairs (immi.homeaffairs.gov.au) well ahead of your trip. Once your travel is confirmed, we plan the winery day around your arrival.
- Is tipping expected at wineries and restaurants?
- No. Tipping is not customary in Australia and is never expected — staff are paid a full wage. A tip is welcome if you feel the service was exceptional, but there is no obligation and no set percentage. Prices you see already include tax (GST).
- Can the wineries cater to dietary requirements?
- Yes — vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes are widely available across the region's cellar-door kitchens, and we note your needs to each venue in advance. Halal-certified menus are less common in the region, so please tell us early and we will confirm suitable options or adapt the itinerary rather than leave it to chance on the day.
