1. Singlefile Wines
What we love about visiting Singlefile Winery is that you can choose your own adventure.

It’s an authentic glimpse into the heart of the Great Southern wine region.
They also offer a chocolate and wine pairing experience, gin and cocktail tasting, and a wine and cheese-tasting experience. Book in your unique experience here.
2. Castelli Estate
Perched on a hillside with breathtaking views of rolling vineyards and Australia's southern coast, Castelli Estate is a true gem among Western Australia's wineries. The striking Tudor-style architecture, featuring stone walls and an atmospheric underground barrel hall, beautifully contrasts with their modern winemaking facilities.
Castelli Estate is not just a winery, but a serene and stylish retreat. They also offer cosy accommodations, a welcoming cellar door and an in-house restaurant that highlights Italian regional specialties made with locally sourced ingredients. It's the perfect spot for wine lovers and food enthusiasts alike..
3. Forest Hill Winery
Another stunning venue is Forest Hill Wines, where not only can you visit their cellar door, you can also dive into the ultimate culinary experience at Pepper & Salt Restaurant. Head Chef Silas Marsh combines traditional cuisine with fresh local produce and an innovative use of spice, bringing a touch of mystery and intrigue to every bite.
Take wine-tasting to the next level and savour the perfect blend of fine wines and delicious dishes, making your visit truly special.
4. Rockcliffe Winery
Relax at Rockcliffe Winery, a laid-back spot where simple pleasures come together. Spend an afternoon sampling their diverse wine collection at their cellar door, paired with their pizza or cheese platters.
Make sure to leave room for their delicious fudge and gelato! The inviting atmosphere and genuine passion for winemaking make Rockcliffe a must-visit.
5. Moombaki Wines
Discover Moombaki Wines, a hidden gem in Denmark, located halfway between Denmark and Walpole. "Moombaki" means 'place of the river banks' in the local Noongar language, and this boutique winery offers an intimate and special experience. The family-owned estate follows organic principles, ensuring each bottle reflects the natural beauty of the region.
Alongside their impressive range of wines, the Cellar Door also features stunning artworks by resident artist Melissa Boughey, inspired by the vibrant colors and forms of our beautiful region.
Moombaki is also home to the talented resident woodworker, Mr. Moombaki (aka David Britten). He sources exquisite pieces of raw timber, often hand-milled, and transforms them into stunning, one-of-a-kind furniture. If you’re looking for a unique family heirloom, like a single slab table, you’ve come to the right place.
6. Lakehouse Denmark:
Lakehouse Denmark is more than just a winery. Here, you can enjoy seated wine tastings or a vineyard lunch overlooking the tranquil lake, or savor their goodies in beautifully crafted picnic hampers. Whether you stay for a lakeside picnic or indulge later at home, the experience is unforgettable.
Don't miss The Shed, their charming store brimming with local produce. You'll find gourmet jams, relishes (like their famous zucchini relish), pickles, pastes, chutneys, and sauces all made on-site. Plus, there's a delightful selection of handcrafted goods, local honey, olive oil, and other regional specialties.
Conclusion: As you savour the flavors of Denmark, make Stillwood Retreat your home base. It’s the perfect place to relax after your wine adventures.
