Peel Estate Vineyard, established in 1973 by visionary winemaker Will Nairn, is the oldest vineyard in the Peel region of Western Australia. Located in the coastal suburb of Karnup, the vineyard thrives on unique limestone soils and a high water table—ideal conditions for growing premium wine grapes. In 1980, the winery was built, and the first wines were crafted on-site, making Peel Estate not only the region’s oldest vineyard but also its first winery. Thanks to a Mediterranean microclimate, the estate consistently produces an outstanding portfolio of red, white, sparkling, and fortified wines.

Just 40 minutes south of Perth, the location makes for a relaxing day trip. Surrounded by wetlands and vines, the picturesque grounds offer shady picnic areas where visitors are welcome to bring their own food and unwind after a tasting.

The estate hosts a range of events throughout the year, including a monthly farmers market, live music days during the warmer months, food and wine pairing experiences, and more. These events provide a great opportunity to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere while connecting with the local community.

Open daily, visitors can sample a wide selection of award-winning wines in the mezzanine tasting rooms overlooking the winery cellar. If you stop by during vintage season (February to March), you may even catch a glimpse of the winemaking process in action.
