Day Trips from Busselton to Margaret River Region

Explore the Margaret River region’s gourmet food and wine purveyors on a full-day tour with a knowledgeable guide. Learn about the history of the region as your guide takes you to several different locations including wineries, chocolate and cheese shops, and a craft brewery. Enjoy a delicious lunch at a winery estate along with food samples and beverage tastings throughout the day. While on the road, relax in a climate-controlled minivan with round-trip transport included from hotels in Margaret River, Busselton, and Dunsborough.

A little less crowded. A lot more considered. Discover Margaret River wine with Tannin Road, where small groups, great wines and thoughtfully curated itineraries take centre stage. Explore boutique, independent and established wineries, including hidden gems you might never find on your own. With a maximum of 11 guests, enjoy more personal cellar door experiences, generous guided tastings and time to appreciate each wine without rushing between stops. Visit three carefully selected wineries for guided tastings, then enjoy lunch at a local brewery. Knowledgeable local guides share stories and regional insights along the way. Where time allows, round out the day with a fifth stop tailored to the group's interests, whether that's a winery, brewery or distillery. With convenient pickup and drop-off from your accommodation, enjoy a relaxed, wine-focused day with fewer crowds, fewer distractions and more of what you came for.

Drive Margaret River yourself, with a GPS audio guide that plays automatically as you go. Your booking unlocks the whole region in the free Wine Trails app: pick your date and starting point — Margaret River township, Dunsborough, Cowaramup or Augusta — choose the cellar doors you want from 59 on the map, and the app builds your personal route with turn-by-turn narration. 82 stories cover the peninsula's people and places: as you pass Vasse Felix in Wilyabrup you'll hear how a 1965 research paper by agronomist John Gladstones convinced a Perth cardiologist named Tom Cullity that this remote forested strip had Bordeaux's numbers — and how in 1967 he planted the region's first commercial vines there. No group, no schedule, no guide — pause for a long lunch at a cellar door, replay anything, and the audio keeps working when the signal drops in the karri forest stretches of Caves Road. You'll need a car and a designated driver; tastings are booked and paid directly with the wineries.
