Dreaming of your next wine tasting weekend in Western Australia? Forget Margaret River: for a quick country escape within easy reach of Perth, a Ferguson Valley wine tasting trip should top your wishlist. With beautiful forests, rolling farmland (and vineyards), fresh produce galore, adorable towns and lovely little wineries, it truly ticks all the boxes.

Geographe is an up-and-coming wine region that’s well worth a visit, either en route to its more famous next-door neighbour, Margaret River, or in its own right. You’ll find friendly, family-run cellar doors with high-quality wines that are gaining well-deserved popularity and recognition.
