We arrived on a rainy windy day and it was fantastic, log fire roaring, beautiful setting, plenty of great wines to taste. You must visit the rest rooms!!! A must when visiting Margaret River.

Owner description:
"Laurance of Margaret River, your one stop Margaret River wine experience. Home of the famous "CHICK ON A STICK " Dianne Laurance had a vision to create a Cellar with a difference. Laurance, with its rustic charm and European sophistication, offers visitors unique tastings in magnificent surroundings. The building has been constructed of prefabricated concrete and its unique finish gives the perception of age. Ironbark timbers sourced from the old Wooloomooloo Wharf in Sydney feature throughout the building. The Cellar is adorned with beautiful artworks and sculptures from around Australia. The grounds boast a 1,000 bush rose garden and two spectacular sculptures.The building has a large open fire, is air conditioned and is family friendly with a fabulous playground for the children.Tastings are offered by way of two choices of trays at a minimal cost. Patrons are encouraged to sit at a table with their trays and relax and enjoy the ambience of the magnificent surroundings and background music.Laurance produces the premium range "Laurance of Margaret River" which consists of 10 national and international award winning wines. The property itself has also been awarded numerous accolades.Casual, family friendly, affordable meals that focus on local produce is available daily.Tour groups are welcome and parking and turning circles have been provided for buses.

The bottles are stunning with...

Yes Hannah is one of our star performers at Laurance Cellar. Every time I walk into the Cellar and see her happy smiling face I feel blessed to have her on our team. I had lunch with a few of my friends at the Cellar on Sunday and tried the Eastern platter and definitely agree it was fabulous. So many...

We were looking for a winery open on Good Friday and were struggling until we came across this place. To be honest this was the highlight of our whole weekend, the prices were reasonable, food was great (we had a tasting plate), and we sat outside on the beanbags with a fantastic view and a bottle of Rose. Highly recommend!

LOL.......your review made me laugh as I do just that with my husband Peter. I feel like I could be anywhere in the world.
The beanbags are proving to be a great hit with people even ringing up to book them for lunch.
Chef Luke is taking a few months off after Summer but he will be back in September....

Thank you so much for your lovely review about myself and Cellar. The truth is it doesn't matter how beautiful a place is if you don't have the right staff behind you it won't work. My staff are amazing and I am so proud of them all.
Many thanks

Have been visiting this winery on Caves road since it opened, and have seen its unique character grow in excellence and beauty every year! Popped in a weekend ago with a friend and found the front desk inundated with people being a long weekend, but the staff SO friendly, enthusiastic and helpful. "Bookends" - thank you! it was most memorable!...

Thank you so much for this lovely review. I am so pleased you loved my four dancing ladies on top of the Golden Wish For Happiness Fountain. They had such beautiful smiling faces I knew they would be perfect on the top.
My two wonderful BOOKENDS (Stu & Gavin) are exhausted but still standing strong after the extremely busy Easter...

After driving past the golden lady in the lake several times we decided to pop into Laurance. The amazing grounds are worth a visit in themselves, but the cellar door experience is wonderful. Beautiful wines, polite and friendly staff, and a lovely tasting experience. Definitely can recommend as a stop to experience how a new producer can make their mark...

What an amazing winery, the grounds are stunning and the building is so well appointed, check out the toilets amazing. A very relaxing lunch and I would recommend the tasting plate as it is hard to choose from such a fantastic menu. An unexpected option was the choice to pay for a tray of wines for tasting and then relax...
