Small single vineyard tasting room, great if you’re looking for the real thing away from the tours.
Passel isn’t well known (yet) as it’s new and doesn’t sell in stores, don’t let hold you back. Their wines are excellent and well worth a stop from the heavily beaten tourist trail.

The pairing is a really unique thing to do when visiting the Margaret River region, each chocolate is carefully selected and cleverly opens up the flavours of each wine. The surroundings are so beautiful and the staff extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I can highly recommend a visit and treating yourself to this wonderful tasting experience. Thank you for making our afternoon together...
