The Itinerary in Detail

Starting Point and Departure

The tour kicks off at the Fly Perth Office, located inside the Revesco Building at Eagle Drive. Check-in is recommended 15 minutes early. From here, you board a comfortable aircraft for a 75-minute scenic flight that whisks you from Perth over the sprawling suburbs and natural beauty of Western Australia toward the Margaret River region.

The Aerial Journey

The flight itself is one of the tour’s highlights. The views are truly compelling—rolling vineyards, patchworks of farmland, and the sweeping coastlines of the Indian Ocean come into focus. We’ve read reviews that describe the flight as “a perfect way to see the landscape from a different perspective,” and “the views alone make it worth the trip.” It’s an excellent introduction to the region’s geography and a memorable way to start the day.

Land in Margaret River & Wine Tasting

Upon landing at Margaret River Airport, the real tasting begins. Over approximately four hours, you’ll visit 4 carefully selected wineries. These are not just any vineyards; they’re places that showcase a range of winemaking styles, from classic varietals to innovative blends. Expect to sample a diverse selection of wines, from crisp whites to full-bodied reds, and learn about the region’s wine production from knowledgeable guides.

Many reviews highlight the quality and variety of the tastings. One traveler noted, “The wineries all had their unique charm, and I appreciated the chance to try different styles I wouldn’t find back home.” The wineries are picturesque, often with lush vineyards, historic buildings, and welcoming staff eager to share their craft.

The Highlight: 3-Course Lunch

Midday, you’ll settle in for a three-course meal at either Vasse Felix or Flutes at Brookland Valley. These wineries are renowned for their excellent cuisine that complements their wines perfectly. Expect a well-curated menu featuring local ingredients—think fresh seafood, seasonal vegetables, and regional cheeses. The lunch elevates the experience, making it more than just tasting wine but savoring a true regional culinary showcase.

Scenic Flight Back to Perth

After lunch and more tastings, it’s time to take to the skies once again. The one-hour scenic flight back to Perth offers a different perspective of the landscape—this time from above, with the sun casting shadows over vineyards, forests, and coastline. Several reviews mention how this flight provides a “wonderful sense of closure,” allowing travelers to reflect on the day’s experiences while enjoying spectacular vistas.

Landing at Perth around 5 PM, this tour wraps up its full and satisfying day—leaving you with memories of delicious wines, stunning views, and a newfound appreciation for Western Australia’s wine country.

What Makes This Tour Stand Out?

Scenic Flight Experience

The flights are more than just a mode of transport—they’re a highlight in their own right. The 75-minute flight from Perth offers an accessible way to see the region’s geography and get a sense of the scale of the vineyards. The return flight is equally scenic, rounding out a full day of visual and culinary delights.

Quality and Authenticity of Wineries

Visitors have praised the diversity of wineries visited, noting that each offers a distinct style and character. With four stops, you get a well-rounded sample of what Margaret River has to offer. The wineries’ settings are often described as picturesque, adding to the overall experience.

Gourmet Lunch

The inclusion of a 3-course lunch at a renowned winery like Vasse Felix or Flutes adds real value, turning this from a simple tour into a full-day culinary adventure. Travelers often comment on the delicious food and the pleasant ambiance, making it a highlight for those who enjoy good eating alongside great wine.

Small Group & Personalized Experience

Limited to 8 participants, the tour offers a more relaxed, personalized atmosphere. This small-group setting allows for better interactions with guides and winery staff, providing a richer understanding of wine and regional culture.

Flexibility & Ease

With options for free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance and the ability to reserve now and pay later, the experience offers peace of mind for travelers with fluctuating plans. The organized nature of the tour means less planning and more enjoying.

Practical Considerations

While the tour offers many benefits, there are a few points to consider. Not suitable for children under 18 or wheelchair users, which is common for activities involving flights and winery visits. The total duration of around 8 hours means a full day out—so it’s best suited for travelers who enjoy active, immersive experiences without feeling rushed.

The flight itself is a key feature, so those with a fear of flying or vertigo may want to think twice. Also, comfortable shoes, sunglasses, and a camera are recommended, especially if you want to capture the scenery or take photos during tastings.

Cost & Value

For the price—which includes two scenic flights, four winery visits, and a gourmet lunch—this tour offers a well-rounded, luxurious experience. While it’s not the cheapest way to see Margaret River, the combination of aerial views, excellent wine, and top-tier dining justifies the cost for many travelers. Think of it as a special treat or a memorable highlight of a Western Australian trip rather than a budget option.

Who Is This Tour Best For?

This experience suits wine lovers eager to explore Margaret River’s vineyards in a unique way, adventure travelers looking for an aerial perspective, or foodies wanting a gourmet lunch in a scenic setting. It’s also ideal for small groups seeking a more intimate, tailored experience. However, those with mobility issues or a dislike of flying might find this tour less suitable.
