The trip

The Ferguson Valley is Western Australia's most diverse wine region — 36+ varietals across small cellar doors where the maker is usually the one pouring. Add the Harvey Region's farm gates, paddock-to-plate breweries, and long winter lunches beside the vines.

Less commercial than Margaret River — and quieter, too.

Day One

Northern entry

Perth→ Wokalup→ Bunbury

Old Coast Road Brewery & WA Wonders of Mini Golf

Paddock-to-plate brewery in Myalup with a mini-golf course out the back. Family-friendly, dogs welcome.

Harvey Cheese & St Duke

Bunbury Farmers Market

Local produce, prepared food stalls, a wander through what's in season. Stock up on something for the road snacks.

Froth Craft Brewery

Bunbury CBD brewery — paddock-to-plate plates and a long beer list. Good for a casual lunch or early dinner.

Day Two

Southern loop with return

Bunbury→ Capel→ Ferguson Valley→ Collie→ home

Capel Vale Winery

Estate cellar door with restaurant — long lunch territory among the Geographe vines.

Hackersley Estate

Long lunch in the Ferguson Valley — Hackersley's fixed three-course menu changes every eight weeks. Book ahead.

Crown Hotel

Historic Collie pub — fire going, hearty plates, a long bar. Right kind of dinner.

Plan my food & wine trip

There are quieter, richer food trips in Western Australia than the famous ones. This is one of them — book ahead where you can, then let the rest happen at the pace of a long winter lunch.
