Ampersand Estates Winery

We had the most wonderful experience at Ampersand Estates over the holiday period. Our group of eight arrived intending to do a simple wine tasting, and instead we were treated to an incredible two-hour wine and cultural experience hosted by Corrie (one of the owners) and capped off with some of the best burgers we have ever eaten! It was absolutely fantastic. Corrie’s passion is infectious, and his knowledge and stories about their wines and the estate made the experience truly special and memorable. The changes and improvements Corrie and Mel have made since taking over the winery are staggering. The grounds are stunning, the wines are excellent, and it’s clear how much care and thought has gone into every part of the place. We didn’t try the distillery this time, but knowing they also produce gin and vodka just gives us another reason to return. We honestly can’t wait to go back. If you’re anywhere near Peerabeelup / Karri Valley, I highly recommend stopping in to see Corey and Mel. You will be treated to a beautiful setting, a warm welcome, and a genuinely outstanding experience.

My wife and I came here for wine tastings, then returned a couple of days later to have lunch and the vodka/gin tasting. It was brilliant. The burgers for lunch were wonderful! The vodkas and gins were excellent. Melissa was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend a visit.

We stayed in the Settler's Cottage and had a wine tasting. Everything about our experience exceeded our expectations. The accommodation was beautiful, tasteful with luxury furnishings and thoughtful details. Every little thing was thought of, with a well-equipped kitchen and beautiful luxury products available for use and purchase. The cottage balcony has a stunning view and it was quiet and peaceful. On arrival, we had a wine tasting at the cellar door and were attended by a delightful young French girl who described the wines with knowledge and passion for the vineyard. Sitting in the sun looking over the stunning property it was delightful. Everything from communication around our booking to the experience itself was five star. The wine was exceptional. I would highly recommend Ampersand as a stop on your way through for a tasting or a destination for a special weekend. We can't stop talking about how good the weekend made us feel. Thanks again to the Team.

The most gorgeous winery. Had a fantastic wine tasting where I enjoyed every single wine!! The staff were simply beautiful and made it such a lovely experience. I will come back every time I am in the area! Could not recommend more!

We came here for lunch on the 24th of December, and from the moment we walked in we were greeted by the most friendly and energetic staff. The burgers were absolutely delicious and full of flavour, and the Rainfall Distillery vodka was incredibly smooth. Combined with the gorgeous location and staff who truly lightened the atmosphere, it made our entire experience even more enjoyable. We will definitely be back when we’re in town.

I discovered this hidden gem on a drive one weekend and have made it a regular fixture since. As you drive into the little Valley it occupies its like an oasis in the beautiful forests surrounding it. The staff are amazing, they make you feel very welcome and like you are a part of an Ampersand family. I booked Vinters for my birthday for 3 days and everyone in the group have said how comfortable and well appointed the house was. It is a weekend to be remembered fondly by us all and we will certainly be back. As well as being greeted each morning with the stunning view from the house which encompasses the vineyard, the valley and distant hills, the wines are excellent and the strawberry pinot noir infused gin are all to be savoured while watching the sunset on the expansive balcony.

A truly unforgettable stay at Ampersand Homestead. What a place! Last week my partner and I stayed at Ampersand Homestead with our two boys — and honestly, it was one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever stayed. The moment we walked through the door, we felt completely at ease. It’s peaceful, thoughtfully designed, and the views over the valley and river are just stunning. Every room has its own charm and the whole place feels really special without trying too hard. Simply walking the incredible property and feeding the ducks was a real highlight for our boys — such a nice way to slow down and soak it all in as a family. We did the wine tasting with a platter down at the cellar door, which was spot on. And if you’re a gin lover, they’ve got you covered there too. Huge thanks to the team for such a memorable stay. We’ll be back for sure. 👍👍

The accommodation and service at Ampersand Estates truly exceeded our expectations. The Vintner residence was beautifully presented, well maintained and set up to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. Highly recommended.
