Woodlands Wines is a family-owned winery in Margaret River, renowned for its dedication to Bordeaux-style Cabernet blends. Established in 1973 by David and Heather Watson, it was one of the first five vineyards in the region and has since built a reputation for producing exceptional red wines from the Wilyabrup Valley. The vineyard remains in the hands of the Watson family, with the second generation continuing the tradition of crafting refined, site-expressive wines.
Specialising in Cabernet Sauvignon and blends, Woodlands Wines has earned national recognition for its elegant and structured wines. With two vineyard sites—Woodlands Vineyard and Woodlands Brook—the estate produces wines that showcase the depth and character of Margaret River’s terroir. The flagship Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from the original 1973 plantings, remains a benchmark for the region.
The Woodlands Wines cellar door offers a relaxed yet refined tasting experience, where guests can enjoy complimentary seated tastings guided by knowledgeable staff. The tasting lineup showcases the estate’s current releases, along with select museum wines from past vintages. For those looking to enhance their visit, a curated selection of international cheeses and locally sourced charcuterie is available, as well as house-made focaccia.
Guests can also opt to enjoy their wines in the outdoor seating area, which provides a scenic and family-friendly setting. The space is dog-friendly, making it a welcoming spot to relax and take in the picturesque vineyard surroundings. Whether exploring structured Cabernet Sauvignon or elegant Chardonnay, the Woodlands cellar door experience highlights the winery’s dedication to quality and tradition.
