Where the art of winemaking meets the beauty of nature - Hamelin Bay Wines' cellar door and restaurant sit on a peaceful valley slope overlooking the vines, an idyllic lake and rolling hills surrounded by Karri forest. The award-winning wines reflect the essence of the sublime natural environment and the unique microclimate of the Karridale wine-growing region.
Established in 1992 in the idyllic Karridale region of southern Margaret River, the vineyard stands as a testament to the perfect marriage of a moderate maritime climate and prime gravelly loam soils.

Whether White or Red, each wine exudes distinct characteristics specific to its variety, block, and site—Whites embody freshness and elegance, while Reds boast restrained power and depth.
