Presenter: Tod Johnston
Air Date: 10 August 2025

Tod discovers that in the southwest corner of WA, the ultimate getaway combines vineyard views, ocean breezes, Gold Plate-winning cuisine and boutique gins, all at Wise Winery, the only Margaret River vineyard where the wines meet the sea.

• It's the only winery in the Margaret River region with ocean views, overlooking the turquoise waters of Geographe Bay.
• The winery was formed in 1992 when Dr. Ron Wise merged Geographe Bay Estate and Eagle Bay Estate.
• Wise Wine holds a 5-Red-Star rating from James Halliday, awarded to Australia's top-rated wineries for consistent excellence.
• The onsite restaurant won the 2024 WA Gold Plate Award for Best Restaurant Within a Winery.
• Wise produces small-batch boutique gins on site using three custom-built stills known as Captain Barnacles, Tom, and Jerry.
• Wines such as the 2020 Eagle Bay Chardonnay and Leaf Cabernet Malbec have won gold medals at the Western Australian Wine Show.
• While some grapes are grown onsite, Wise sources premium fruit from other top regions including Pemberton, Manjimup, and Frankland River.
• Visitors can enjoy daily tastings, redeem tasting fees on purchases, dine at the restaurant, and soak up coastal views in a dog-friendly setting.
