Visit the Cellar Door and taste our range, relax over lunch in our Restaurant or drop into the Treehouse Bar on weekends for a pizza or cheeseboard. At Upper Reach you'll meet the people who actually grow the grapes and make the wine and there is a fantastic deck where you can relax, take in the view and enjoy a glass or two. Over the past 28 years, Upper Reach Winery owners, Laura & Derek Pearse,

have produced award-winning wines which highlight the character of their Swan Valley estate-grown fruit. Year in, year out, they create wines that are fresh, vibrant and full flavoured, each wine reflecting the vintage and the vineyard. With sweeping views over the vineyard and into the working winery, it's an experience not to be missed. Open Wednesday to Sunday for lunch, the totally transformed Restaurant at Upper Reach is a must visit. Think bistro-style, with a Mediterranean twist, the restaurant offers sensational food using locally sourced ingredients in a light and bright setting. Small tasting plates to share and generous a la carte options will be created by chef Ryan Fels. A new and exciting addition to Upper Reach is The Treehouse Bar. A deck has been built around the magnificent Marri tree which will offer a relaxing place to sit and enjoy a pizza and a beer or glass of wine while taking in the spectacular view over the vineyard. If you're looking for somewhere extra special to hold your next birthday/work/family/social club function, The Treehouse is available as a twilight venue for your exclusive use. The Vineyard Spa Cottage at Upper Reach offers an opportunity to rest, relax and recharge. The original workers cottage built in 1907 has been refurbished to include everything you need. After a day of exploring the Valley, retreat back to your cottage surrounded by your very own 20 acre vineyard. Upper Reach is one of the top Swan Valley wine producers, with an extensive list of wine show awards. Their success is a result of winemakers Derek and Lauren Pileggi's hands-on involvement, both in the vineyard and in the winery. In 2022 Upper Reach were awarded two trophies at the Swan Valley Wine Show - 'Best Wine of Show' and 'Best Red Wine' - for their 2021 Reserve Shiraz. At the 2023 Swan Valley Wine Show, they were awarded three trophies and a Gold medal for their 2022 Grenache. This included the coveted Alan Dinneen Memorial trophy which is awarded to a wine selected by the chief judge that best identifies with the Swan Valley and shows imagination, innovation and ingenuity. The 2023 Verdelho also picked up a Gold medal. Visit soon to find out why Upper Reach has been awarded ‘Best Small Cellar Door’ two years in a row. Here you’ll get a feeling for the people, the place and the processes that create the success story that is Upper Reach.

There are some wines that always seem to disappear from the rack faster than the others.

Our Verdelho is one of them.

Maybe it's because it works with just about everything. Fresh seafood, a cheese board, spicy food, a lazy Sunday lunch or simply a glass on the verandah at the end of the day.

The 2025 Verdelho is everything we love about this variety. Bright, vibrant and full of tropical fruit flavours, with enough freshness to keep you coming back for another glass.

For the next week, we're making it a little easier to fill the wine rack.

A dozen bottles of our 2025 Verdelho is $275, usually $384.

That's a saving of $109, but more importantly, it's a chance to stock up on a wine you'll be reaching for all year.

Have you ever stood in front of a grapevine, trying to beat the incoming rain, and wondered where to even start in the mess of canes that seem to multiply before your eyes?

You're not alone.

Every winter we hear from people who know their vine needs pruning but have no idea which canes to keep, which ones to remove, or how much is too much.

The good news is that grapevines are far more forgiving than they look.

Once you understand a few simple principles, the whole process starts to make sense.

We've put together a step-by-step guide that breaks grapevine pruning down into 3 easy steps, with photos to help you identify exactly what you're looking at.

Winter in the vineyard looks a little different.

The rush of vintage is behind us, pruning is just around the corner and Lauren is already getting excited about what’s next. Or, more accurately, what’s coming back out of the cellar.

This winter, we’re releasing a very limited parcel of our 2018 Museum Reserve Chardonnay.

After years of bottle age, it’s drinking beautifully and feels perfectly at home this time of year.

A funny thing happens in June.

People book lunch thinking they'll be here for a couple of hours.

Then lunch arrives.

The burrata with pesto, orange and fennel gets shared around the table. Somebody orders the blue swimmer crab risotto. Another person chooses the duck leg. Someone else insists everyone has to try the pork cotoletta.

Then the wine is flowing, the conversation is going and suddenly it's mid-afternoon.

We've seen it happen a lot lately.

And honestly, we completely understand.

Malolactic Monday 🍷

Winery floor? Messy.
Lees? Being cleaned out.
Winemaker? Extremely happy 🤓

Lauren loves this time of year because, in her words, she gets to “get her nerd on” — and honestly, she’s in her element.

All of our reds have now completed malolactic fermentation (MLF), which helps soften the wines and build texture before barrel ageing.

Now comes the hands on work: racking each batch, checking pH and sulphur levels, cleaning barrels and settling the wines back in for maturation.

It’s not the glamorous side of wine, but behind every great glass of red is a whole lot of beautiful chaos 🍇🍷

There are winter people… and then there are pizza by a wood fire people 🍕🔥

Hand stretched Neapolitan pizzas, bubbling straight from the wood fired oven, crispy around the edges, soft in the middle and best enjoyed with a glass of red in hand.

Honestly, if winter had a love language, this might be it.

Round up your lunch crew, claim a cosy table and let us handle the rest.

Wood fired pizza season is well and truly here 🍷

See you Sunday from 11am!

People are forever asking us:

“I’ve only got one day in the Swan Valley… where should we go?”

So we finally wrote down the places we genuinely recommend to friends.

Coffee and cake at Taylor’s. Kangaroos at Caversham. A long lunch overlooking the vines. Pizza on the weekend. Chocolate for the drive home (because obviously).

No sponsored picks. Just the places we actually like sending people.

Our guide to the 10 best things to do in the Swan Valley for 2026 is now live.

Hiding in the vines like it knows it’s the favourite child… 🍂🍷

New on tasting for autumn & winter weekends, our 2023 Petit Verdot.

First vintage since 2018, thanks to the exceptional 2023 Swan Valley season.

Big, bold and beautifully savoury, with ripe berries, plum, spice and that classic hint of eucalyptus.

The winemaker says it’s the best Petit Verdot we’ve ever made.

Very limited. Weekend tastings only.
