Experience Geographe Bay Wineries & Breweries
“Tantalising tastes, brilliant bouquets ...
... be sure to Savour every drop!”
The Margaret River Wine Region has become one of the great
wine-producing regions of the world, but it doesn’t stop there
with the emergence of some equally impressive boutique breweries.
Wine Varieties
The Mediterranean style climate means
vineyards are not affected by extreme
summer and winter temperatures creating
perfect growing conditions for a range of
grape varieties. The region is perhaps best
known for its Cabernet Sauvignon and
Cabernet blends, but it is also the producer
of some of Australia’s best Chardonnay.
Varieties such as Shiraz and SemillonSauvignon Blanc blends have gained
increasing attention in recent years and
there is a host of new varieties emerging
such as Mourvedre, Grenache, Sangiovese
and Voignier.
Wine Tasting
There are over 120 wine producers in the
region, most of which have Cellar Doors
allowing you to taste their range of wines.
Cellar Doors range from small, rustic affairs
to impressive feats of architecture and
design. Tasting wines is easy once you know
how – just follow the basic guidelines of
swirl, sniff, sip and savour. Don’t be afraid to
ask the cellar door staff to take you through
the tasting and explain the wine to you.
Margaret River Wine Region
14 www.geographebay.com
Margaret River Wine Region
Many wines are only available at Cellar Door –
a point worth remembering if you are
looking for something unique to take home.
Breweries
Dotted in amongst the vineyards are equally
impressive boutique breweries producing
hand-made traditional style brews with
Indian, German and English influences. As
well as the traditional lager, there are some
more experimental styles to tantalise the
tastebuds including chocolate and chilli beer!
Winery and Brewery Tours operate daily,
so be sure to book your seat today!
