A Saturday in Margaret River. Surf, Markets & Wine Tours
Are you planning a Saturday in Margaret River but not sure where to start? Well, The Journey Margaret River have got you covered! Whether you're a local or visiting for the weekend, here’s a perfect itinerary to make the most of your day.
1. Start Your Day with the Margaret River Parkrun or a Surf
Set your alarm bright and early! At 8 AM, head to Rotary Park for the Margaret River Parkrun. It's a 5km run that takes you through some stunning forest scenery. Whether you're a runner or a walker, it's the perfect way to kick off your day, get your heart pumping and work up a bit of a thirst for later on! If you are more of a surfer, why not tackle a barrel or two at Gracetown.
2. Refuel at the Margaret River Farmers Market
After your run, take a well-deserved stroll over to the Margaret River Farmers Market. The stalls here are packed with local goodness! My personal favourite is grabbing a delicious treat from Harlequin Desserts—it’s a must! And if you’re after something with a little more fizz, Foley’s Frothing offers fantastic fermented drinks to quench your thirst.
3. Coffee and Croissants at Egberts
Next up: a pit stop at Egberts for a coffee that hits the spot and a buttery croissant. Trust me, you’ll need the caffeine kick before diving into the rest of your day. It’s all about balance, right?
4. Freshen Up and Get Ready for a Wine Adventure
Now that you're feeling energised, it's time to head back to your accommodation and get freshened up. You want to look (and smell) your best because the highlight of the day is just around the corner!
5. The Journey Margaret River Private Wine Tour
Sometime between 10 and 11 AM, we'll swing by and pick you up for your private wine tour. This is where the real magic happens! Based on your preferences—whether you’re into wine, craft beer, or both—we’ll create a custom itinerary just for you.
With The Journey Margaret River, you'll experience boutique wineries, hidden gems, and even some of the bigger estates this region is known for. Maybe you fancy a stop at Redgate Wines or a visit to the beautiful Voyager Estate. Or perhaps you’re keen to enjoy a laid-back brewery lunch. Whatever your vibe, we’ve got it covered and we handle all the bookings. So, all you need to do is sit back and enjoy the ride!
6. Wind Down or Kick On?
Our tour usually wraps up around 5 PM-ish, but don’t worry, we’re not clock-watchers! If you’re in the mood to keep the good times rolling, we can drop you off in town so you can enjoy some evening fun and then we’ll take you back to your accommodation later. Or, if you prefer to head straight home, we can handle that too. Nothing is too much trouble.
And there you have it! The perfect Saturday in Margaret River. From morning exercise to market treats and an unforgettable private wine tour with The Journey Margaret River, your day will be filled with local charm, delicious flavours, and great company.
