Ampersand Estates Named Among the World’s Wine Hotels by YOLO Journal
We’re delighted to share that Ampersand Estates has been featured in YOLO Journal’s global Wine Hotels List, a curated collection of exceptional vineyard stays and wine-led destinations from around the world.
Published in September 2026, the list journeys through some of the world’s most celebrated wine regions, from the Douro Valley and Sicily to Sonoma and Stellenbosch, bringing together vineyard hotels, private estates, wineries and intimate stays deeply connected to the places and wines that surround them.
Where Wine and Place Come Together
It’s a philosophy that sits naturally at the heart of Ampersand Estates.
Set among the vineyards, forests and waterways of Pemberton, a stay at Ampersand offers far more than luxury accommodation. Guests can discover wines grown and made on the estate, explore the botanicals behind Rainfall Distillery, experience seasonal dining and retreat to one of three private residences, all without leaving the property.
Every element is connected by a sense of place, creating an immersive wine-country escape that could only exist here in the Southern Forests of Western Australia.
To see Ampersand Estates featured alongside remarkable wine destinations from across the globe is a wonderful recognition of the experience we have created and continue to evolve.
