WINTER PIES

Melissa Palinkas may have left the kitchen for now, but she left us handmade pies. Two of them, made with WA produce and built for the season and even better with a glass in the other hand.

Enjoy by the fireplace, or take a seat on the balcony when the sun's out. From either one you're looking straight across Wilyabrup.

Wagyu Brisket, Black Garlic & Cabernet Franc
Pairs well with Wilyabrup Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon.

Three Cheese & Caper Cream
Pairs well with Wilyabrup Reserve Fumé Blanc.

VISIT US
TOUCH GRASS w FLYING MACHINE & MELISSA PALINKAS

Phones down. Present company only. A long lunch in the vines, measured by the light, not the clock. We're taking your phone* at the door and giving you the afternoon back. No screens, no schedule, no QR codes. Just a hand-drawn map, a spot to settle into, and a table full of people you haven't met yet. Find your place in the vines, on the lawn or up on the balcony, and stay as long as the light holds.

Feeding the day is Melissa Palinkas, one of WA's most awarded chefs. Seasonal, produce-led, generous, landing in the middle to share. It's all built around the launch of the Flying Machine Gamay 2026, a lighter red made for exactly this kind of lunch. Between courses, walk the trails or find a lawn game. Unhurried, unplugged, and gone too soon.

VERTICAL CHARDONNAY TASTING

Five Wilyabrup Chardonnays in one sitting - two current Reserves, and three older vintages from the Museum Cellar that don't usually leave the room.

Fifty years of making wine on the same patch of dirt means we've got a few bottles tucked away. This is the easiest way to try them.

$40 per person · Private Tasting · 1 hour · 2–8 guests

Vertical Cabernet Tasting Willespie
VERTICAL CABERNET TASTING

So glad I found this winery. Beautiful surroundings, awesome wine. A real gem offering a genuine experience which can be missing in some of the larger commercial establishments.
