The stunning winery is well worth a visit. A scenic drive down the winding Caves Road brings you to this grand estate. Amelia Park has a WOW factor.

Why did you decide to become a Vigneron?
Growing up, I always had an interest in agriculture. While studying commerce, I found a part-time job with a well-known winery for a vintage. I completed my first harvest with them almost 30 years ago. I immediately felt a connection with the viticulture and growing side of grapes, from harvesting to winemaking.
Why are wines from the Wilyabrup area so special?
Great wines are ultimately determined by the grapes that they grow. Wilyabrup is a place that has the perfect ingredients to produce high-quality grapes. Margaret River’s consistently high-quality wine is a result of a combination of climate, soils, varieties, and management. The wines are a reflection of its uniqueness.
Who or what has been the greatest inspiration in your winemaking journey?
Many people have helped me on my journey of winemaking. The sharing of knowledge and assistance in the wine industry, whether good or bad, is a great thing. The challenge of each new vintage and my desire to make better wines every year are what inspire me the most. The journey continues and is always exciting.
Amelia Park was named Best Cellar Door of Margaret River for the third year in a row by Gourmet Traveller Wine Magazine. This is a must-do experience when you are on a luxury down south break.
Amelia Park Restaurant is just a short walk from the Cellar Door. It’s a must-visit for those who love the finer things of life.
