The Narrative

Margaret River Discovery Co has been rated the #1 thing to do in Margaret River on TripAdvisor for 17 consecutive years — and in 2024, they won Best Tour Operator at the WA Tourism Awards. These aren't vanity metrics. They reflect what happens when someone who genuinely loves a place dedicates two decades to showing it properly.

Sean Blocksidge, WA Guide of the Year 2010, leads the flagship Discovery Tour himself — a full day experience at $188 per person that goes well beyond the standard wine tour script. Sean holds exclusive access and permits to operate in the National Park and along the Margaret River itself, enabling him to take guests into places and situations that simply aren't available through any other operator. The winery luncheon included in the tour features some of the best bottles in the region, consumed in the kind of setting most visitors never find on their own.

For groups wanting complete privacy, the private tour — normally $990, with occasional specials at $750 — puts the full Discovery experience at your disposal for just your party. Same guide, same access, same behind-the-scenes depth, minus the shared group.

Margaret River's wine landscape is extraordinary — over 200 producers working one of Australia's most geographically diverse wine corridors. Sean doesn't just navigate it. He illuminates it, with 17 years of relationships, stories, and insider knowledge layered into every stop.

Good to know

Frequently asked

Why does the Discovery Tour sell out so far in advance?
Margaret River Discovery Co runs small groups with Sean leading every tour personally — which limits availability. Combined with 17 years as the #1 rated tour in the region, demand consistently exceeds capacity. Booking 3–4 weeks ahead is strongly recommended, particularly for weekends and holiday periods.
What makes the Discovery Tour different from other Margaret River wine tours?
Sean holds special access permits to the Margaret River National Park and the river corridor itself, enabling experiences that no other operator can legally offer. The tour also features an included winery luncheon with exceptional regional wines, and the entire day is shaped around genuine discovery rather than a standard cellar door rotation.
What's included in the private tour?
The private tour delivers the full Discovery experience exclusively for your group — the same behind-the-scenes access, national park permits, winery luncheon, and Sean's personal guidance — for $990. Occasional specials bring this to $750. Contact Sean directly to check availability.
