2024:

Upper Reach Winery is one of the region’s best all around cellar door experiences. The premise is picturesque with its modern cellar door and gentle hills(and you can book in for a delicious lunch). The staff is fantastic and can manage a small crowd maintaining a smile. And most importantly, the wines are on point! Upper Reach’s rich, long-finishing 2023 Verdelho is one of the region’s best. Similarly, their Black Bream blend of Verdelho and wooded Chardonnay is oh so opulent/morish/yummy. Finally, the 2022 Cabernet Merlot is perfect with its elegant structure and subtle complexities.

2019:

Upper Reach is one of the better wineries in the Swan Valley.  With a solid range of consistently good and occasionally exceptional wines (we loved the deep, dark, and rich 2015 Reserve Shiraz as well as their French-styled 2014 sparkling wine), they are a local stand out.  Even better, their prices are better than fair, especially on their best drops.  

In addition to great wines, the cellar door is beautiful and the staff is always consummately professional and engaged with their patrons.  Again, we reiterate this will be one of your better stops in the region.
