Food & the table
In Margaret River the kitchen matters as much as the cellar. Regional produce, cellar-door restaurants and generous cheese boards mean a winery day is, quite properly, built around a long lunch.
Some wineries have restaurants, while others offer cheese or local produce boards. Menus, opening days and dining formats vary, so we check what is available for your dates before planning lunch around a particular venue.
We place the long lunch at the heart of the day and arrange the tastings around it, so you arrive at the table relaxed and unhurried rather than squeezing food between appointments.
Some Margaret River wineries serve lunch; others offer lighter food or tastings only. We check current menus, opening days and table availability, then confirm the agreed lunch arrangement alongside your tastings.
Many winery restaurants offer vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, but menus and their ability to accommodate particular needs vary. Tell us your requirements early so we can check with each venue. Halal-certified options are less common in the region; we will confirm what is available and discuss itinerary changes if needed.
A Margaret River day is about far more than tasting wine. Guests who do not drink alcohol can enjoy the same leisurely lunches, gardens, local produce, coastline and winery surroundings. Non-alcoholic drinks vary by venue, so tell us your preferences and we will check the options when planning your day. No one needs to feel obliged to drink.
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.
Tell us what you love and we will shape an unhurried Margaret River day around it - every cellar door confirmed before you arrive.
