Sunnyhurst Winery

Stroll through beautiful gardens with 600 heritage roses and be welcomed by owner Marie-Pierre’s at this family-friendly cellar door, making delicate regional wines nearby picturesque Bridgetown.

Located just five minutes from Bridgetown, Sunnyhurst Winery Estate is on the grounds of the historic 1896 Sunnyhurst Homestead which was known to be headquarters for the Red Cross during WWII. Since its establishment as a vineyard and winery in 2000, Sunnyhurst has used traditional winemaking methods and organic-inspired viticulture. Currently owned by Geoff Herbert and Marie-Pierre Dussault, the Sunnyhurst philosophy emphasises hand-picked quality grapes and the production of premium quality wines that reflect the taste of the region.

The white wines have great delicacy and flavour from long cool fermentation, and reds are left to age in French oak that is recycled from Burgundy. All aspects of wine production are undertaken onsite, including bottling, corking, capsuling and labelling.

Sunnyhurst varieties include Semillon Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Shiraz, Petit Verdot and a Ruby Port.

The beautiful cellar door and art gallery at Sunnyhurst is open daily and owner Marie-Pierre Dussault provides complimentary tastings of the winery’s award-winning wines.
