Jarvis Estate

Since 1997 Jarvis Estate has excelled in wine production and offer the very best in Australian wine. Operated from the home vineyard in the heart of Margaret River, this world-class vineyard is also the family home of Matt & Jackie and their 3 daughters. Our red wine range includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz and Malbec. We also produce one of Margaret River’s best Cabernet Francs. Our award winning white wine varieties include estate grown Chardonnay, Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. We pride ourselves on being a true ‘estate’, one in which our grapes are grown, fermented and bottled entirely on our own property. By carefully controlling this process, we ensure a better quality wine for your enjoyment. Whilst the cellar door experience is highly sought after by visitors to Margaret River, we at Jarvis Estate like to offer wine lovers something a bit different. Instead of a traditional cellar door we offer free vineyard tours and tastings!
