Through Local Eyes provides guided experiences across the Margaret River region of Australia's Magnificent South West

The Top Tier Experience


A private experience designed around you, your pace, and the way you want it to feel.


This isn’t about fitting everything in. It’s about getting it right.


Two considered tastings in the morning, a long lunch, and a seamless afternoon shaped around your chosen lunch experience.


Through Local Eyes is built on nearly two decades photographing the region, shaped by real experiences, strong relationships, and years spent hosting guests across the South West.

 

How it flows


The experience is built around your chosen lunch style, with the tastings, timing, and flow shaped to suit.

We usually begin with two carefully chosen morning tastings, pause for a considered lunch, then continue into one or two afternoon stops.

Optional photography experiences are also available for guests wanting the experience captured through local eyes.

 

Choose your lunch style


Woodlands is included as your lunch option, with upgrades available if you wish.

Choose Masseria, Wise Winery, Wills Domain, or Vasse Felix for a more elevated lunch experience.

Once your lunch style is selected, we shape the tastings, timing, scenery, and flow around it.

Seasonal group offers are available on selected lunch experiences.

Pickup

Coming from Perth?


Private Perth pickup can be arranged by request.

Because the journey south becomes part of the experience, the itinerary is adjusted. We usually replace the two morning winery stops with coffee and a scenic photo opportunity before your selected lunch experience.

After lunch, we continue with one or two carefully chosen tastings before returning to Perth.

Perth pickup is quoted separately, based on pickup location, guest numbers, and selected experience.

Photography Experience


For guests who want to take the experience further, this is a short scenic photography stop at a carefully chosen coastal or landscape location.


I’ll guide a light demonstration on how I see and capture the South West, while creating a small collection of finished images for you to keep.


Includes one finished high-resolution landscape image, along with up to six professionally finished couple or group images, ready to keep, share, or print for $220.
Let me know when booking, or we can decide along the way.
