Down-to-earth drinking tours in Busselton cut straight to the heart of Western Australia’s celebrated Margaret River region. Small-group and private options head straight to the area’s standout wineries, craft breweries, and local distilleries. I’m especially fond of the full-day experiences that combine tastings with regional lunches – they’re well-organized and surprisingly good value. The Rolls Royce tour adds a fun touch of class, while maintaining that casual Australian charm we’ve come to love.
