Sandalford
has made wines for over 150 years, changing their wines and vinification
in many ways. Winemaking however has been around for thousands
of years so in some sense little has changed!
Founded
in 1840, Sandalford is one of Western Australia's oldest and largest
privately owned wineries.. Located at the original property on
the banks of the Swan River, Sandalford Estate is just 25 minutes
drive from the city. The Swan Valley boasts some of the oldest
wineries in WA, superb restaurants, galleries and fine accommodation.
Sandalford
Estate is unquestionably WA's leading 'Wine Tourism' facility,
recognised with winning three major categories at the West Australian
Tourism Awards in 2002. Sandalford boasts unique facilities such
as
a
multi-lingual winery tour on suspended walkways
al fresco dining under the vines
expansive indoor and outdoor function facilities
major events with international acts
Perth's first luxury river cruiser
wine appreciation classes
gift emporium
Sandalford's tourism hospitality facilities extend to our Margaret
River Estate set amongst beautiful garden setting and south-west
bushland. This estate boasts a charming, rustic, rammed earth
cellar, free picnic and BBQ facilities and of course, purchasing
and sampling Sandalford's wines.
Sandalford's
award-winning wines reflect contemporary wine making and include
a Premium Collection and the popular Element Range. Recent modernisation
increased Sandalford's capacity to almost one million litres in
French and American Oak barrels and 600 square metres of underground
storage. These state-of-the-art facilities permit custom requests
of maturation stock.
In
addition to leading bottle shops, hotels and restaurants in Australia,
you will find Sandalford wines in over three dozen countries and
five continents.
