Described by James Halliday as ”one of the most experienced winemakers in Western Australia”, Tony “Snake” Davis has over 25 years’ winemaking experience across the renowned wine regions of Oregon, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Tasmania, South Australia and of course, Western Australia.
Redmond “Herring” Sweeny is an accountant by trade and a sports-mad, wine-addict by passion. Staunchly Western Australian and proud of it. Redmond is an experienced marketing professional with years of sales and distribution under his belt.
In 2011 these two chaps met, collaborated and Snake and Herring The Wine Odyssey was created.
At the heart of the business are well-founded partnerships with talented growers. Snake and Herring work collaboratively with their growers to ensure that sustainability and quality are expertly balanced.
Their wines are an expression of the individual sites and styles and they employ innovative wine making techniques to get the best out of the fruit. Handpicking, whole bunches, small batches, wild fermentation, raw juices and big barrels all work to build wines with texture and complexity. And it hasn’t gone unnoticed. 10 years on with a swag of trophies and gold medals to their name, Snake and Herring now have a Cellar Door on Caves Road in the heart of the Margaret River Wine Region.

Great tasting experience! Exceptional taste for white and one of our friends spoke highly of one of the red. Super friendly staff (and shout out to Margo! so cute and friendly girl). Do check this place out.

The cellar door is beautiful, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the quality of the product is top-shelf. We've been lucky enough to try most of the varietals; however, we particularly love S&H's chardonnay and rose.

We had the pleasure of visiting Snake & Herring Cellar Door today and enjoyed their exciting wines. The staff were friendly, and their knowledge of the wines was really interesting, and included info about the area each parcel of fruit was from.
Upon our arrival we were impressed with the layout of the garden, with nice green lawns and shady trees. Enjoy a cheese platter under the umbrellas at the tables outside, from their fine selection of international and local cheese's, cold meats, fig's and don't miss the anchovies from Spain - they were some of the best I've tasted. The Cellar Door is both dog friendly and includes a great kid's playground. It was nice to buy one of their tee shirts and a box of wine to bring home to remember this great experience.
