They take the time to guide you through their exquisite selection of wines, sharing the stories behind each bottle and the meticulous process that goes into creating them.

The wine selection is nothing short of spectacular. Each sip reveals the dedication and artistry that the Wise family has poured into their winemaking.

The outdoor terrace offers a serene spot to enjoy a glass while soaking in the panoramic views, making it an ideal place for a leisurely afternoon. The winery also features an outstanding restaurant that serves up award-winning, delicious, locally sourced dishes that pair beautifully with their wines.

We started our meal with house-made bread, the yellow curry cauliflower, which was light but flavorful and truly delicious. The grilled octopus was also cooked perfectly. For mains, we had the gnocchi that for any gnocchi lover was exceptional, being light and fluffy, browned off in butter, just yum. And then the seafood chowder arrived; oh no, this was delicious, creamy, and full of seafood; this is a dish we would return for time and time again.

Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or a Foodie, Wise Winery is a place where you can truly appreciate the art of having a long lunch. The combination of stunning scenery, exceptional wines, and warm hospitality makes it a standout destination in Margaret River. We left with not just a few bottles of wine, but also a hunger for more. Don’t miss the chance to visit this hidden gem – it’s an experience you won’t...

Stunning Location, Fine Wine, and Fantastic Food. Wise has it all, from when you park the car the views are breathtaking, the wine tasting on entry, was served by enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff, they also make gin, which we intend to try next time, we were then met at the restaurant entrance by another member of staff, and quickly guided to our table, service was efficient and again knowledgeable staff on what was being served, advice etc. There was good vegetarian options and the menu in general was varied and exciting with local produce on offer. The Chargrilled Octopus was melt in the mouth, and the vegetarian option of Saltbush Falafel was equally so, Fried Gnocchi was the vegetarian main, beautifully presented and equally tasty, as was the Crispy Pork Belly, which was cooked to perfection, we shared a desert of Cafe Pisco Chocolate Mousse, a perfect end to and equally perfect lunch, we choose the Leaf Series Sauvignon Blanc which was one our favourite tipples from the tasting and the perfect accompaniment to our choices, we finished with a fresh ground coffee. How good is it? we have already booked for our next outing, and taking our friends with us. Wise is one of the South-West's hidden secrets tucked away on the capes, near Eagle Bay, it is quite simply beautiful. It should be on everyone's visit list, immerse yourself in the peace and beauty of its locations, indulge in fine wines and fine foods prepared and presented with care, and bask afterwords in the knowledge you have found one of those special places. Thank you to all the staff who have made this...

Historically Wise has been our go to restaurant for a special meal but we were really disappointed by our experience today. There had been a couple of negative reviews which we had seen but dismissed as we'd had such a good run with Wise in the past. In terms of food, we ordered the 300g steak (nearly $70), tagliatelle ($34), and gnocchi($34). Steak was ok but served with a cucumber cut in half which was more than puzzling. Not great presentation, not big on flavour. For the price you expect a perfectly cooked steak with tasty sides on the plate. The gnocchi was adequate in portion but that was about the only positive. The gnocchi pieces were very doughy, and no flavour. The pumpkin puree it was served on was so bland I would give it to a baby as their first food. The tagliatelle had adequate amount of squid included but lacked flavour. The restaurant was very quiet, we were one of two tables indoors. There were lots of staff around but none were enthusiastic or particularly helpful. For example, no one checked if the meals were ok and we had to ask whenever we wanted more water rather than it being topped up. My mum at the end of the meal said that the ice in the water was the best part of the meal (we agreed unanimously). Mind you we had to ask for that ice because the water was warm. The restaurant has amazing views of vineyards and ocean but needs some aircon and fans installed. I hope the restaurant can lift its menu and execution of dishes to match the great views soon. Until then we'll...
