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.

Immediately felt comfortable and relaxed when we entered this family run vineyard. Love the selection of whites and the sparkling shiraz. The owners were lovely and we had a great time!

Loved this winery on our visit to the south-west. It has a really relaxed feel and is set close to the beach. The staff were lovely and we especially loved the dogs and dog Polaroids around the winery. They had a great selection of whites and we especially loved the dessert wine. Will definitely be back!

We’ve been coming to Cape Naturaliste Vineyard for years, and it truly feels like a second home. From the moment you arrive, you’re made to feel genuinely welcome — our dogs’ photos are even on the walls, and the dog treats always flow generously! 🐾
As if that wasn’t enough, the wine is simply fantastic. Today, the Shiraz sparkling completely captured my heart — absolute standout and a must-try.
Warm hospitality, a dog-friendly atmosphere, and exceptional wine make this place something really special. We’ll keep coming back, again and again. 🍷
