Planning a morning or afternoon trip into Margaret River during your stay at Smiths Beach Resort? Be sure to make time for Idée Fixe, Margaret River’s first dedicated Blanc de Blancs house.
Located just five minutes south of Margaret River town, Idée Fixe is an easy and memorable addition to a half-day itinerary from the resort. The drive from Smiths Beach Resort to Margaret River takes around 30–35 minutes, making Idée Fixe a natural stop for guests exploring the region’s wineries, galleries, boutiques and dining experiences.
Drawing on more than 40 years of traditional-method heritage, it is one of only a handful of estates of its kind in Australia, and a focused expression of one of the country’s most compelling wine terroirs.
The estate unites decades of expertise with striking architecture and thoughtfully curated grounds. At its heart is the Salon, where guests can enjoy guided tasting experiences and rare insight into traditional-method Blanc de Blancs winemaking.
Idée Fixe also has a special connection to Smiths Beach Resort as it is our chosen Blanc de Blancs for in-room gifting, and a cherished welcome for our guests. It is also highly recommended and served by our onsite restaurant, Lamont’s Smiths Beach.
Whether you are planning a leisurely morning in Margaret River or an afternoon of wine tasting, Idée Fixe is a must-visit for lovers of exceptional sparkling wine.
Experiences are available by appointment only.
