The global drive for food sustainability has shone a big, fat spotlight on the importance of not just eating local, but ensuring what is harvested from or upon the earth is completely consumed. Paddock to the plate. Nose to tail. These two philosophies go hand-in-hand with minimising impact and preserving the environment.<br/><br/>In the Margaret River Region, such an approach is increasingly the mainstay. Take a tour of the farms, wineries and restaurants to discover what paddock to plate means across the pristine South West. <br/><br/>You'll meet the chefs and producers, check out working farms, explore seasonal gardens and learn about local produce. You'll dine at some of the region's favoured winery restaurants and purchase hand-crafted goods to take home. Marvel at the many experiences at Olio Bello, The Farm House Margaret River, Voyager Estate, Leeuwin Estate, Glenarty Road, de'sendent and The Margaret River Truffle Farm.

Grape Escape prides itself on offering excellent customer service and fully customisable small-group wine tours around the Margaret River wine region. They are also the only dog-friendly wine tour operator in Western Australia. <br/><br/>They don't have a set wine route that they take every day as they want to make sure that they take you places that align with your tastes and preferences. They like to give you a mix of small boutiques and larger venues and hope to be able to take you to some of the hidden gems.

Based in Dunsborough, Koomal Dreaming provides an opportunity for visitors to experience Wadandi and Bibbulmun country through the eyes of the traditional owners. Guests have the opportunity to taste native foods, learn about bush medicine, and meet the animals, plants and Dreaming spirits that have enriched the lives of the indigenous Wadandi and Bibbulmun people since time began. <br/><br/>"Koomal" is the traditional Aboriginal name of Wadandi man Josh Whiteland. Passionate, learned and spiritually aware, Josh has a personal commitment to sharing his deep knowledge of his culture and lore with visitors. He created Koomal Dreaming so he could communicate at least part of his profound connection with his land and his people with guests from around Australia and the world.
