After 50 years in Wilyabrup, Margaret River, the next chapter is underway. New experiences at the cellar door, wines that continue to be made with finesse and a deep respect for the region, and a genuine focus on making every visitor feel at home. There’s plenty more to come.
Our cellar door and wine bar is open seven days a week. Settle in at the tasting bench and we’ll pour you across the current releases, or take a glass to the verandah and stay as long as the afternoon lets you. A small selection of bar snacks is on hand. Walk-ins welcome, kids welcome, dogs welcome.
Beyond the standard tasting, there’s always something on. Vertical Chardonnay and Cabernet flights drawn from our Reserve range, which span several decades and aren’t available anywhere else. Seasonal events and a rotating program of weekend collaborations with some of WA’s best chefs, on now through winter.
THE WINES
Estate-grown, dry-grown, handpicked. Two ranges to taste through, plus the Museum Collection at the cellar door.
Homestead – A familiar place.
Generous, fruit-forward wines made from estate fruit with the same care as our Reserves. Built for long lunches, weeknight dinners, and the balcony as the Wilyabrup light fades.
Wilyabrup Reserve – A place of its own.
Willespie’s statement of terroir. Dry-grown, handpicked estate fruit from the heart of Wilyabrup, shaped with the kind of quiet precision that comes from knowing your soil well. Considered, not showy. Confident, not loud.
MELISSA PALINKAS RESIDENCYÂ
A limited weekend collaboration. 16 May – 21 June 2026.
For six weekends this winter, our verandah is home to Melissa Palinkas, executive chef and co-owner of Young George and Ethos Deli in Fremantle. A nationally awarded chef and judge for the Charcuterie Excellence Awards and the delicious.

Saturday Series · The Long Table by Melissa Palinkas
Saturdays, 30 May – 4 July 2026. 1:00 pm.
One long table wraps the verandah. Four courses, driven by what Western Australia is offering that week. The menu shifts. The wines are Willespie’s. The afternoon is yours.
$120 per person. Limited 50 seats. Add the Wilyabrup Reserve wine pairing – four glasses paired with lunch – for an additional $60.
Sunday Series · Braizen by Melissa Palinkas
Sundays, 31 May – 5th July 2026. From 12:00 pm.
No fuss. Just good food cooked with conviction over fire. A different hero dish each week, cooked over the purpose-built asado in full view. Build your table around it – a few things to start, a few things to share, something sweet to finish.
From $45 per person. Two-hour seatings. Wine by the glass or bottle. Bookings recommended; a few seats kept for walk-ins.
