2.Margaret River Wine, Brewery & Distillery Tour with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 488 reviews · from $129

Spend about six and a half hours touring Margaret River with Margies Big Day Out. Expect hotel pickup, three winery tastings, local producers, chocolate, lunch and a brewery finish. Guides such as Dan, Simon and Russell are known for a social, easygoing style, but venue quality and commentary can vary.

“This is a wine tour for a younger crowd or inexperienced wine tasters. You don’t get a ‘tour guide’ you get a driver basically. More interested in sitting in the bus and watching his Netflix. Communication between your group and venues was very poor, as a group we found ourselves sorting many things ourselves. The brewery’s disappointing.”
