Your journey starts at the cellar door, where our Award Winning winemaker – Mark Cumbers will greet you and introduce you to this Italian adventure here in Geographe.

Hear the story of how a ‘kiwi’ girl met a ‘WA’ boy in Melbourne and why Vineyard 28 chose to grow these Italian varieties.

Take a walk in the vineyard and get to understand how grapes are grown. From the vineyard, you will amble to the winery and get to see behind the scenes to learn how we make grapes into wine. Taste and learn why wines are aged in barrels.

Depending upon the time of year you may get to taste grapes in the vineyard or experience wine from the tank or barrel. Late January to April can be one of the most interesting times to take this tour, as we have grapes on the vine and a lot happening in the winery to experience.

The tour concludes at the Cellar Door, where guests will complete their Italian journey, with a personally guided wine tasting by our winemaker, accompanied by a '28' Grazing Board.
