Amazing experience, Ben...
Amazing experience, Ben who took our small tour was very knowledgeable and extremely patient with myself and partner who are not into wine much at all. The pairing really opened my eyes to the different variety of wines on offer and what I am most suited to. Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting the area.

Fascinating tour of a technologically, modern winery with superb wine and food pairing.
This was a fascinating tour, going behind the scenes of a technological, modern winery. The culmination of the tour was the wine tasting with food pairing which was superb. Totally recommend this experience.

Good quality information, wines & food
My wife & I visited Cape Mentelle Winery in the Margaret River region and took the food & wine matching tour. Our Tour Guide was Ed, a really friendly, likable bloke who explained the whole wine-making process (from vine to table) very ably & clearly. We have both been on similar Tours elsewhere over the years but learned new information from Ed. Ed welcomed our questions and is a great asset to Cape Mentelle.

Great winery tour
We really enjoyed our morning tour of the vineyard and winery with Leanne. We particularly enjoyed her wine and food pairing, both were doubly delicious together.

A very memorable experience.
Dan gave us an excellent tour, which started in the vineyard and took us through the wine making process finishing with a private wine tasting with food pairings in the cellar room. Dan was very personable and informative. His manner was friendly but also very professional. The food and wine pairings were spot on and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.

Sandy from cape mentelle margaret river is a star
Just had the most fantastic wine tour and tasting at cape mentelle! My son and I are from Auckland and perth and what made the experience so wonderful was our tour guide sandy who hails from the shores of NZ . I have previously had wine tours in italy and france which where fabulous and recently one at craggy range in the hawkes bay but the difference being SANDY!! Sandy is a real asset for Cape Mentelle she was so personable and relatable. We didn’t feel intimidated to ask questions and weren’t spoken down to which has happened in aforementioned wine tours! I am so impressed by her knowledge that I can’t wait to come back but next time with my husband. Thank you so much sandy for giving my son and I such a wonderful experience🥰. Michelle Konik

Thanks for the best time!
Wow wow WOW! At the suggestion of my brother we booked in for a tour and food/wine pairing. It was just myself, my partner and our incredibly friendly tour guide (Leeane) doing the pairing but it was an incredible experience. Felt very spoilt! Can’t rate this place enough, loved every minute!
