The detail
What you'll find
World-tour-quality breaks within a 10-minute drive. It's one of the experiences that makes Margaret River Cellars unmissable on this stretch of the road trip.
In context
Margaret River produces less than 3% of Australia's wine but 20% of its premium wine. The region's maritime climate, ancient gravelly soils and tight-knit winemaking community make for a cellar-door scene unlike anywhere else in the country — and the food, surf and forests around it are just as good as the wine.

Tips for the visit
- Spit, don't swallow — or book a driver. Police presence is real.
- Book the big-name lunches weeks ahead, especially long weekends.
- Buy a few bottles direct — many small producers don't ship east.
