Small boutique vineyard producing award-winning wines in the beautiful Smiths Beach Valley.
To the south of Cape Naturaliste, in a picturesque valley behind Smiths Beach, lies Cape Naturaliste Vineyard. Overlooking the valley is a 19th Century stone inn. Once the staging point for the coaches on the Perth to Margaret River route, the now renovated inn provides a delightful backdrop to the vineyard. The property became a dairy farm in the late 1800's and the old stone milking shed is now the cellar door.
Cape Naturaliste Vineyard was planted in 1997 by the owner, Craig Brent-White, who purchased the land in 1980. Craig and his wife Jennifer oversee and carry out the day to day operations of the vineyard to this day. Their passion and dedication ensures the highest quality in both wines and service.
Their approach is based on biodynamics, and they endeavour to use organic techniques and products wherever possible. They use sea-based fertilisers that are tailor made to suit their vines. The emulsion is undiluted and contains all the essential elements and nutrients their vines require. They also apply NASAA-accredited, certified organic compost to improve soil health and ultimately to assist them in producing premium quality fruit.
Dogs are always welcome at the cellar door, and every dog that visits is given a treat and photographed for the ever-growing Dogs of Cape Nat Vineyard wall of fame.

What a find, we pulled in randomly and it was worth it. Wine was fantastic obviously had to take a bottle home with is. Host is lovely and recommendations were spot on. If we are this way again we will be back. Thank you

Warm & genuine
I had such a wonderful experience visiting this winery! 🍷
The two resident dogs gave me the warmest welcome, which made the visit even more special. 🐶🐶
A huge thank you to Deb, the manager, who was absolutely lovely and incredibly helpful. She guided me through the wine tasting and gave me such detailed and interesting explanations about the wines. She also recommended some delicious restaurants and great destination nearby, which was so thoughtful and helpful.
If you’re looking for a small, family-run winery with a warm, personal and welcoming atmosphere rather than a large commercial winery, I highly recommend visiting here. You can really feel the passion and genuine hospitality behind the place.
You can really feel the passion and warmth here. Great wine, wonderful hospitality, and the sweetest welcome from the dogs. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in Margaret River! ❤️
