Sip by Season – Spring Cellar Door Opening Hours 2026
Explore the cellar doors of the Southern Forests, where vineyards thrive amid towering karri trees and atop gravelly hills. Our unique terroir shapes exceptional cool-climate wines, offering a taste of the land’s distinct character.
Each visit is a journey through nature’s beauty, with charming cellar doors and welcoming people ready to share their passion. In spring, the region comes alive as fresh green growth fills the landscape, wildflowers add colour to the forest floor, and longer days invite you to slow down and savour the season.
Wander through vineyards surrounded by ancient forests, meet the winemakers behind the bottles, and discover the stories woven into every vintage. From crisp whites and aromatic varieties to elegant reds, Southern Forests wines reflect the cool climate, distinctive soils and careful craftsmanship of the region.
Spring is also the perfect time to explore beyond the cellar door. Take a scenic drive through the forest, stop at a local produce store, enjoy a long lunch featuring seasonal ingredients, or simply pause to take in the fresh country air. The region’s food and wine experiences are closely connected, with local growers, producers and winemakers celebrating the best of what the land provides.
Whether you’re planning a leisurely weekend escape or looking for somewhere new to explore, the Southern Forests offers an experience that goes beyond the glass. Come for the wine, stay for the scenery, the flavours and the people who make this corner of Western Australia so special.
Discover the regions where every sip tells a story — and make spring your season to taste, explore and linger a little longer.
