A day among the northern cellar doors
A Dunsborough wine tour often takes in established estates like Cullen and Moss Wood, alongside smaller cellar doors such as Windows Estate, Pierro and Menzies. For lunch we might book a winery restaurant like Vasse Felix, where the food is as considered as the wine. The exact route depends on your taste and the day, but the focus is always on the northern end of the region, at a relaxed pace with time to enjoy both the wine and the food.
Hi, I'm Mo
YOUR GUIDE
I trained as a chef in England before working in France and Australia. My wine education began in Courchevel, where I worked alongside the sommelier, changing the menu each week and matching the wine to it.
When I came to Australia I studied hospitality management, which deepened the grounding my kitchen years had given me. I went on to manage the cellar door at a local winery in Margaret River for three years, talking about the region, its growers and its wines every day. That is where my knowledge of Margaret River wine was built.
I have lived and worked in this region for over a decade. It is long enough to know the cellar doors, the back roads and the people behind the labels, and to have a soft spot for the Dunsborough beaches at the end of a day.

PRIVATE GROUPS
Who chooses a Dunsborough wine tour?
Most of our guests are couples on a weekend away, groups of friends, or people marking an anniversary or a milestone. The day suits anyone who would rather explore the region at a relaxed, private pace, with thoughtful winery choices and time to enjoy the food and the landscape, than be part of a larger group.

We work with a range of tastes. For a fine dining lunch we can book a table at a winery restaurant like Vasse Felix, where the food is as considered as the wine. If you would like something different, Fishbone does very good Japanese and for a more relaxed lunch somewhere like Swings and Roundabouts is known for its wood fired pizza. We plan the lunch stop around what you enjoy, whether that is a winery restaurant, a casual café or a picnic somewhere with a view.
