Margaret River Wine Tour: Self-Guided GPS Audio Guide

Highlights
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.

About Margaret River
Margaret River is a wine and surf region in Western Australia's far south-west, set among tall forests, limestone caves and Indian Ocean beaches.
Margaret River is both a small town and a wine region in the far south-west of Western Australia, running along a ridge between Cape Naturaliste in the north and Cape Leeuwin in the south. Vineyards sit between karri and jarrah forest, and the coast to the west is a line of limestone cliffs, sandy bays and powerful surf breaks. Perth lies about three hours' drive to the north.
Top-ranked sights in Margaret River: Mammoth Cave, Jewel Cave, Lake Cave.
