Founded in 2020 on one of the region’s most historic vineyard sites (est. 1982), Ampersand Estates redefines Australian wine tourism for modern luxury travelers.

Ampersand Estates is Western Australia’s most celebrated winery stay — a rare destination where world-class wine, private luxury accommodation and unforgettable experiences come together in one extraordinary place. Set deep within the ancient Karri forests of the Southern Forests and overlooking the Donnelly River, the estate offers something increasingly rare: space, privacy, authenticity and access.

Guests don’t simply visit — they stay on the vineyard, dine privately with world class chefs, explore estate gardens and distillery botanicals, and connect directly with the owners who live, farm and create here. In partnership with acclaimed Australian winemaker Rob Mann, Ampersand Estates produces award-winning cool-climate wines that consistently rank among Western Australia’s finest. Yet it is the experiences — owner-hosted, deeply personal and impossible to replicate — that set Ampersand Estates apart. For travellers seeking a once-in-a-lifetime Australian wine escape that rivals great vineyard stays globally, Ampersand Estates is not just the best in Western Australia — it is the destination.
