Willespie Estate

The lead. Willespie Estate is a pioneering Wilyabrup winery, crafting wines since 1976, with a cosy cellar door and wine bar. Dogs are genuinely welcomed in the outdoor areas and on the scenic balcony and courtyard, so they can sit with you over a tasting and the vineyard views.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome on a lead in the outdoor seating, the balcony and courtyard, with communal tables and room to settle alongside you. Water bowls are generally provided. Keep your dog leashed and supervised out of respect for other guests and staff.

Good to know. The estate is known for classic, consistent Cabernet Sauvignon across three ranges: Homestead, Wilyabrup Reserve and Flying Machine. There is a bar-snacks menu built around local produce. Standard tastings run around 10 dollars, often refundable with a bottle purchase, with structured flights available. Service is laid-back and genuine. Hours are generally daily 10:30am to 5pm; confirm before travelling.

Getting there and parking. Find it at 555 Harmans Mill Road, Wilyabrup, a short scenic drive off Caves Road. Ample flat parking sits right by the cellar door, an easy walk to the outdoor seating with a dog.

Nearby with the dogs. Lenton Brae on Caves Road is a nearby dog-welcoming cellar door. The designated dog stretch at Yallingup Beach is a short drive for a coastal walk; check signage.

When to go. Any season works; the balcony and courtyard suit mild days. Good for sociable dogs comfortable at communal tables.
