Cellar door will be closed for tastings during the summer holidays and vintage 2020.

Our last day at cellar door for 2019 is Sunday 22 December 2019 and we re-open for the Harvest Festival on Saturday 2 May 2020.

If you would like to purchase wine during this time and don't require a tasting please contact Di on 9293 3309 or Lara on 0401671137 or info@aldersyde.com.au to arrange a convenient time to collect the wine.

Happy summer holidays!

Details are similar to last year but for the uninitiated:

When: Sunday 22 September, approx 12.30-5pm

Where: 226 Aldersyde Road, Bickley

What: discounted red dozens, BBQ, bonfire at 3pm

Bring: warm clothes, sunscreen/hat, something to sit on (or not!), meat for the BBQ or a plate for the share table (we will provide the basics like bread and sausages, tea/coffee), marshmellows for the bonfire (!)

Please return your tasting glass to the winery at the end of the day or leave it on one of the barrels in the picnic area.

Remember the dam on the property is unfenced so please keep an eye on your kids..

There will be tractor rides again - could we please ask that at least 1 adult hops into the trailer with the kids?

Fingers crossed for sunshine!

We will be closed for the summer holidays from Christmas until after Easter.

In 2019 our cellar door will be open for tastings Sundays 11am - 4pm.

If you would like to purchase wine and don't require a tasting please contact Di or Lara on 9293 3309 to arrange a convenient time to collect the wine.

Happy summer holidays!

We will be supporting the Kalamunda Garden Festival on Sunday 7 October 8am-1pm.

We spend 90% of our time in the vineyard and 10% in the winery.

We know that the skill of making great wine lies in producing great grapes.

All good vignerons have an understanding or love of gardening and we are happy to support such a great initiative by the Kalamunda Plant Company.

Come and visit us at our stall at the Festival - we will be offering free tastings of our 2014 reds.

Hope to see some of you there.

What a gorgeous day!

We couldn't have hoped for better weather or a better crowd.

As my primary school best friend, Cas, said "I had such a lovely day, it reminded me of when we were kids - lighting fires and having tractor rides!" Good old fashioned fun.

It was great to see so many kids running around and getting dirty, not a mobile to be seen!

We really appreciated your support, generosity and thoughtfulness today.

See you again next September!

I think we will be lucky - weatherwise - again this year! 

The ground, however, may be a little soggy so make sure you bring a change of clothes for the kids and shoes that don't mind getting dirty.

We spent a glorious day on Sunday getting the bonfire ready.

Here's our little daughter, Abi, getting pretty excited by the thought of roasting marshmellows on the bonfire!

See you on Sunday.

Details are similar to last year but for the uninitiated:

When: Sunday 16 September, approx 1-5pm

Where: 226 Aldersyde Road, Bickley

What: discounted dozens, bonfire at 3pm

Bring: warm clothes, sunscreen/hat, something to sit on (or not!), meat for the BBQ or a plate for the share table (we will provide the basics like bread and sausages, tea/coffee), marshmellows for the bonfire (!)

Sadly, our beautiful dogs, Oban and Zoe, passed this year so we no longer have any paw patrols for your kids. This means you will need to know where your kids are at all times as there are 2 unfenced dams on the property.

There will be tractor rides again - could we please ask that at least 1 adult hops into the trailer with the kids?

Our lovely neighbour, David, will be playing some acoustic tunes over the afternoon.

It's gearing up to be another great day!

See you then.

Lara and family

We've been asked by a few enthusiasts when our bonfire party will take place this year.

Mark Sunday 16 September in your diaries.
