Margaret River

Margaret River is one of the most isolated wine regions in the world, with ancient forests, pristine beaches, and plants and wildlife found nowhere else. It’s also home to passionate winemakers crafting premium wine. Three hours from Perth, Margaret River was once a hidden oasis, occupied by dairy farmers and surfers. In the 1950s and 60s scientists deemed it ideal for growing high-quality grapes and things moved fast.  Today it’s home to more than 150 wineries, making premium wine, and visitors sometimes outnumber locals. It’s renowned for its elegant Cabernet Sauvignon and full-flavoured white wines – perfect with the exceptional local produce.

Right on the coast, Margaret River is low and flat, with a moderately warm Mediterranean climate that’s kept cool by the ocean, which surrounds the region on three sides. Its climate is ideal for growing top-quality grapes.
