This historic region gets its name from French explorer Nicholas Baudin whose boat was called Le Geographe. He chanced upon the area in 1802 and was no doubt impressed by the stunning coastline and rolling hills surrounding.
Today the Geographe is one of WA’s most exciting emerging regions and home to many diverse styles of wines and boutique wineries creating wines with regional distinction.
There are four districts in the region: Harvey, Donnybrook, Capel and Ferguson all with their own unique terroir and topography but it is the cool sea breeze from Geographe bay that helps create the local style of wine.
