Day 1 | PERTH TO MARGARET RIVER WINE REGION 

We travel south from Perth driving through farmland with grazing cattle and passing by the coastal towns. Arriving at Busselton, known as the gateway to the Margaret River Region, we stop for morning tea (own expense) to view the iconic Busselton Jetty, the longest timber jetty in the Southern Hemisphere. (please note there is not enough time at this stop to walk the full length of the jetty).

Driving into the heart of the region, we head to one of Margaret River’s boutique breweries for lunch (venue may change due to force majeure) with complimentary beer and cider tastings. Following lunch, we enjoy further wine tasting from a selected winery (varies depending on availability), whilst gaining industry insights on wine production with the opportunity to purchase.

Next it’s on to Mammoth Cave for a guided tour through this gothic cave with vast chambers that reveal fascinating information on the region’s flora and fauna.

Continuing south, through the Boranup Forest of enormous Karri Trees, we reach the most fascinating part of the region at Augusta. Here at Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse, marvel at the dividing point between the Southern and Indian oceans – a rare phenomenon to view the meeting of two oceans. Then we head north up to the township of Margaret River to take you to check-in to your chosen accommodation option. (LD*)
