Here’s a wrap-up of Margaret River Region workshops and classes providing hands-on and informative ways to learn a new skill and have some fun.
Creative Pursuits
Commonage Pottery
Painting with Wax, Botanicals in Tableware, Seed Pods in Clay, and Pottery Wheel workshops. The creativity, talent and passion at Commonage Pottery is overflowing, and they offer a whole bunch of inspiring and immersive workshops they’d love to share with you.
Here you can learn anything from ancient techniques of painting with beeswax, finding your own botanical style for a tableware collection, building clay seed pods with local flora as inspiration, to wheel throwing with Commonage Pottery’s very own professional potter.
At the end of each workshop take home your work of art to show your friends and family your newfound (or ever developing) talent or bring them along to spend a few hours of interactive quality time together. Workshops are thoughtfully designed to be enjoyed by both individuals and groups, kindly note the 48-hours cancellation policy.
The Perfect Blend
Clairault Streicker
Looking for a fun and educational way to learn about wine? Become a winemaker for the day with an interactive wine blending experience at Clairault Streicker.
Their expert team will guide you through the wine blending process, helping you choose the right combination of flavours to match your taste. Measure, mix and taste the wines before bottling your new-found blend to take home.
Celebrating a special milestone? Extend your masterclass to include a 3-course lunch and paired wine tasting. The perfect excuse for a long lunch with vineyard views.
Passel Estate
The educational guided wine tasting experience Provenance Unearthed at Passel Estate demonstrates the stylistic differences of Margaret River varietals compared with premium wines from other renowned Australian wine regions. Leave with an increased appreciation of the influence soils, climate and winemaking philosophy has on the taste of wine.
Sit down, relax and enjoy six superb wines in the beautiful surrounds of the estate. Extra plus? A share of your spend will go directly towards further conservation efforts at Passel Estate.
Happs Wines
Let’s scale it right back to basics. Maybe you would like to know a little more about how to taste wine in the first place, identify varieties you like, and be in the know of basic food and wine pairing.
You’re in need of a little Wine Tasting 101, and at Happs Wines they make it fun, educational, and delicious. Happs believe wine should be accessible for everyone, and we couldn’t agree more.
Sit down and be guided through a tutorial (and tasting) of eight wines, and with the help of your wine tasting reference sheet and guide, take the time to connect with your own unique palete. Is that Black Plum, Blackberry or Black Cherry you’re tasting…? Finish the class with a blind tasting, and really put your new skills to the test.
Yahava Koffeeworks
Coffee aficionados – let Yahava Koffeeworks take you on an incredible taste adventure. Sample coffees, chocolates and other delights from exotic lands and far away locations.
In a hands-on approach, you will learn to brew their current Specialty Estate through 3 different methods and understand how to taste it. Their expert team will help you discover a coffee you really love, then take home a batch of coffee you helped roast.
An hour and a half of gastronomic fun – perfect for a group of friends.
Giniversity
Master the art of blending spirits with a fun and interactive workshop at Giniversity, led by the experts at Margaret River Distilling Co.
Giniversity’s ethos is all about innovation – experimenting with exotic and native botanicals to craft unique recipes reminiscent of Australia’s South West.
Unleash your creativity by mixing and matching botanicals like a master distiller. You’ll learn the origins of gin, then create your own bespoke blend to bottle and take home. The masterclasses are popular so book in advance.
