Escape for a little Italian adventure in Geographe.
No Passport required
A visit to the cellar door at Vineyard 28 is a little “Trip to Italy” via wine, where you will most likely be greeted by the owner Pippa, or winemaker, Mark. This Kiwi girl and the WA boy have a passionate interest in Italian grape varieties and love to share their story with guests.
Indulge all your senses with an extensive range of wines, that cater to all tastes, from crisp dry whites to rich robust reds, and some sweeter styles as well.
Pignoletto - Arneis - Fiano - Moscato - Dolcetto - Nebbiolo
They offer a range of wine tasting options at the Cellar Door, including a guided wine tasting of their range. They also offer a grazing experience where you can sit back and relax as you enjoy a more in-depth tasting of our wines and enjoy the peace of the forest surrounds and panoramic views over farmland to the Eastern Scarp. If you'd like a more in-depth experience, take an Italian journey on the Taste of Italy tour where you can learn more about Vineyard 28.
