Description

Margaret River’s founding wine estate, established in 1967, Everyone is welcome to visit Vasse Felix, which is regarded as one of Australia’s draw-card winery destination experiences.

From the first plantings up to the modern day Vasse Felix has always strived to express the very best of the Margaret River region and to share it globally. Owned by the Holmes a Court family since 1987, Vasse Felix has carefully expanded its vineyards to encompass four distinct and exceptional sites situated throughout the region. Each vineyard is matched to the best varieties and clones and farmed sustainably using traditional and organic principles.

Vasse Felix`s wines reflect the varietal strengths of Margaret River; Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, as well as Shiraz and Sauvignon Blanc / Semillon blends. All wines are vinified with minimal intervention and bottled within the Estate's modern winery, situated at the Home Vineyard overlooking the Wilyabrup Brook. The Vasse Felix winemaking philosophy is founded on the beliefs that great wines are made in the vineyard, must be authentic expressions of their place and are the work of a great team of passionate people.

The Vasse Felix Cellar Door is renowned and offers a range of experiences. Enjoy a tasting at the tasting bar or a self-paced, seated option. Alternatively, linger in the chic wine lounge over a glass of wine or wine flight with charcuterie.
