We highly recommend that our patrons eat something substantial before tasting wine. Having a hearty breakfast before a Margaret River Tours Full Day Gourmet Wine and Dine Tour or lunch before our Half Day Gourmet Wine Tour is the best start. Watch Lessilu's tour experience here to see what we mean.
So where to eat in Margaret River?
In addition to Margaret River’s world-class wineries, our region also boasts some fantastic restaurants and cafes for you to discover. This is a list of some our favourite places to visit for breakfast lunch and dinner. We have started our list with coffee, but please keep in mind that this is not the best prelude to tasting wine. Consider having coffee before you eat, rather than after, so that your palette is not too affected in preparation for your first wine tasting of the day.
