Bushtucker River & Wine Tours

Bushtucker River & Wine Tours has been running in Margaret River since 1990, founded and guided by Helen Lee — a West Australian with a background in Anthropology, Botany and Teaching who has spent three decades weaving the region's natural history, indigenous heritage, and world-class wine into something genuinely educational and deeply fun. The Bushtucker Great Wine, Food and Forest Tour departs at 10am and runs to 5pm: four wineries, one distillery, and a brewery across the day, plus visits to the local cheese and charcuterie producers that make the Margaret River region one of Australia's finest food-and-wine destinations in the same breath. The itinerary moves at a pace that allows for real conversations with winemakers, tastings that go beyond the poured list, and a winery lunch that Helen has refined over decades. Groups travel in comfortable mini-coaches with 13–20 fellow travellers from around Australia and the world. The wine touring sits alongside another Bushtucker signature: the Cave Canoe Tour on the Margaret River itself, where guests paddle eco-canoes through forest, wildflowers, and crystal waters while Helen guides them through the river's 60,000-year geological history and demonstrates native plant medicines and bush foods. Both tours are available 364 days of the year and can be booked separately or combined. The winery tour picks up from Busselton, Dunsborough, and Margaret River, making it accessible from most of the Margaret River region's accommodation hubs. Helen's three decades of local knowledge, combined with genuine storytelling and a clear passion for Western Australia's south-west, set Bushtucker apart from newer operators in the region.
