Cape Naturaliste Vineyard
Monday - Sunday: 10:30 AM until 5:00 PM
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.
