About this tour

Spend two hours at Cape Mentelle vineyard in Western Australia walking through production from vine to bottle, then taste wines alongside locally-sourced foods in the original Cabernet Cellar. A guide explains the winemaking choices that shape the final product, then guides you through thoughtful pairings—some predictable, others surprising—that reveal how flavours interact. Adults only, maximum 10 people per session.

Highlights

  • Walk vineyard and cellar with winemaker insights
  • Taste wines matched against local produce
  • Learn why certain flavour combinations work
  • Small group format, maximum 10 people
  • Lunch and wine tasting included
  • 90 minutes, adults 18+

What to expect

Your guide will take you through the winemaking workflow, explaining decisions made in the vineyard and cellar that influence the wines you'll drink. You'll then move to the original Cabernet Cellar for a structured tasting. Here, wines are paired against a rotating selection of local foods—some pairings follow convention, others deliberately contrast to show how opposing flavours can enhance each other. Expect to learn the reasoning behind each match rather than simply drinking and eating. Lunch is provided as part of the experience.

Good to know

Adults only, minimum 18 years. Not suitable if pregnant. Groups capped at 10 people. Wear closed-toe flat shoes and dress for weather—the tour runs rain or shine. Notify staff of food allergies in advance. Transport to the vineyard is not included.
