About Our Premium Cellar Door and Winery
Within the Australian wine region, you may hear the term “cellar door”, which is not uncommon in wine tourism. A cellar door refers to a tasting room which allows visitors a try-before-you-buy experience. This may refer to smaller, more intimate settings for tastings or large areas that allow for group tours. These tastings include samples in small measures with an expert to guide guests through the journey. By selling wine on-site in this way, a winery cuts out the middleman and builds up a loyal buyer base that favours their wines because it reminds them of an unforgettable, immersive experience. We at Ampersand Estates believe in welcoming our guests into a world of natural beauty, delightful wines, and tailored luxury that meets their needs.
Our winery produces a range of light and approachable wines that have been masterfully created to pair with any occasion. From picnics and barbeques to weddings and other special events, our selection is a refreshing exploration into wine varietals like Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Tempranillo, Riesling, and Shiraz. By partnering with top winemakers in the region, like Bruce Dukes and Andries Mosert, we can present visitors with unique, artful blends that excite the palate.
Book a Luxury Stay with Our Serene Accommodation
Wines are not our only forte – we also accommodate guests and special events, and host scrumptious gourmet picnics. A visit to Ampersand Estates offers a memorable flavour experience and a chance to enjoy the leisure and luxury of our riverside winery. We have three residences available, all self-contained and fully furnished, and situated amongst their own private gardens and orchards. Each provides intimate comfort, beautiful views, and a welcoming charm that is signature of our hospitality.
You can also enjoy a gourmet picnic with us, with baskets containing fresh and tasty produce sourced from Pemberton and regional farmers. Here, you can sit back and savour tasty delights, artisanal cheeses, delicious bread, charcuterie, and decadent sweet treats. Guests and visitors can attend a wine tasting or purchase individual bottles or buy them as part of their gourmet picnic basket. They can also explore the estate and choose a picnic spot most suited to their liking.
As a premium winery and Australia’s first single harvest distillery, we invite you to pop in at the cellar door, enjoy a weekend away at our luxury Pemberton accommodation, or take in the sights while indulging in a picnic feast. For more information, contact us today.
