Three distinctive wine tasting experiences for curious palates
Just 25 minutes from Perth, Mandoon Estate is inviting wine lovers to delve a little deeper into the wines of the Swan Valley with three premium tasting experiences in its intimate Underground Cellar.
Set beside the Swan River, Mandoon Estate is a destination in itself, bringing together award-winning wine, dining and luxury accommodation within a historic property. Its original Verdelho vineyard dates back to 1895, connecting today’s winemaking with more than a century of viticultural history.
For those keen to go beyond a traditional cellar door tasting, three distinctive experiences offer the opportunity to explore aged wines, limited releases and carefully considered food pairings.
For sparkling wine lovers, Mandoon Estate offers two experiences dedicated to exploring the influence of time in the bottle.
The Vintage Sparkling Experience takes you into the Underground Cellar for a guided tasting of current and back-vintage sparkling wines. Tasting the wines side by side reveals how sparkling wine develops greater depth and complexity with age, with each pour accompanied by a selection of sweet and savoury canapés.
For an elevated tasting, the Reserve Sparkling Experience follows the same intimate format, showcasing Mandoon Estate’s Reserve sparkling wines across current and back vintages. It’s a rare opportunity to experience mature sparkling wines and discover how they have evolved over time.
Prefer to explore beyond sparkling? The Pact Experience showcases the breadth of Mandoon Estate’s winemaking through a guided tasting of premium small-batch and limited-release wines.
The line-up includes varieties such as Verdelho, Chardonnay and Shiraz, with current and museum-release Shiraz providing an opportunity to compare the influence of ageing firsthand. Artisan cheeses are carefully matched to the wines, while your host shares insights into varieties, winemaking styles and the characteristics that emerge with time.
There’s plenty more to discover once you emerge from the Underground Cellar.
Mandoon Estate is home to cellar door, Homestead Brewery, fine dining restaurant Wild Swan and Maalinup Art Gallery, while 32-room Maya Maya offers luxury accommodation overlooking the Swan River and historic Verdelho vines.
Whether you’re drawn to aged sparkling, limited-release wines or simply the chance to spend more time discovering one of Western Australia’s oldest wine regions, these experiences offer a new way to get to know Mandoon Estate.
