Dusk falls over a small vineyard amphitheater: light softens on rows of vines, frogs in the estate dam call back and a dam-side gum tree watches over a family of reintroduced possums. On the Passel Estate Nature & Wine Walk you move slowly through managed bushland where vines and native forest meet, led by guides who point out bird calls, native plants and the pockets of habitat created for wildlife.

Dusk falls over a small vineyard amphitheater: light softens on rows of vines, frogs in the estate dam call back and a dam-side gum tree watches over a family of reintroduced possums. On the Passel Estate Nature & Wine Walk you move slowly through managed bushland where vines and native forest meet, led by guides who point out bird calls, native plants and the pockets of habitat created for wildlife.
Margaret River’s wine story began in the late 1960s; the limestone soils and Mediterranean climate combine with ancient Gondwanan geology to make this pocket of southwest Australia prime for both viticulture and biodiversity. Passel Estate mixes small-scale winemaking with active conservation: you’ll learn about revegetation work, the estate’s role in western ringtail possum recovery, and how vineyard practice influences creeklines and soil health.
The experience is part walk, part classroom and part tasting — a short, accessible route through conservation plots that ends under a veranda with an artisan cheese platter and a guided tasting beside the very rows that produced your glass. Timing favors late afternoon light and calmer bird activity.
Practical side: wear sturdy shoes for uneven farm tracks, bring sun protection and a refillable water bottle. The walk is private and 90 minutes; small groups mean questions are welcome, and $60 from each booking supports on-site rehabilitation. Expect gentle terrain, lots of interpretive detail, and a hands-on look at how a working winery can double as a wildlife refuge.
Yes — the experience ends with a guided tasting paired with an artisan cheese platter beside the vineyard; some reserve wines may incur an extra fee.
