About This Trail
70km loop through the Margaret River wine region via Caves Road and Yallingup - flat-to-rolling sealed roads through forest and vineyards. The Margaret River wine region road loop is Western Australia's most popular destination cycling ride - a 70km circuit that combines the famous Caves Road with the back roads through Yallingup, Cowaramup and Margaret River township. Total elevation gain is a modest 500m, making it ideal for fit recreational riders rather than serious climbers. The route's appeal is its scenery: karri and jarrah forest, Cape-to-Cape coastal heath, and constant vineyards from over 200 cellar doors. The standard loop runs Margaret River-Caves Road-Yallingup-Dunsborough-Cowaramup-Margaret River. Caves Road is wide, well-paved with a generous shoulder, and lightly trafficked outside school holidays. Bussell Highway (the alternative route via Cowaramup) carries more traffic but has good shoulders. The ride's coffee and food scene is unmatched - Yahava KoffeeWorks, Margaret River Bakery, the White Elephant Beach Cafe in Gnarabup and dozens of cellar door restaurants offer rest options every 5-10km. Gradient profile — Avg gradient: 0.7%, Max gradient: 6%.
