Wise winery was established in 1992, when Biochemist Dr Ron Wise and his wife Sandra bought the then Geographe Bay Estate (founded in 1983) and combined it with their nearby Eagle Bay Estate property.
Shortly after purchasing the property, Ron and Sandra engaged the services of two very close friends, Warren Randall (aka ‘The King of Australian wine’) and Dorham Mann. Warren Randall issued advice on viticulture for the property, where he described the “Mazzas” block of Shiraz as the Club Med for grapes. Subsequently the remaining vines were pulled out and Wise Wine began sourcing grapes from premium growers around the state. Dorham Mann (who had previously studied with Ron), then began the task of making wines in the style pioneered by his father, WA wine industry trailblazer Jack Mann. The wine was essentially lightly wooded with ripe flavours.
From the year 2000 onwards winemakers Bruce Dukes and Amanda Kramer put the winery on the map with high quality Chardonnay and winning numerous international awards.
Today, Wise Wine produces superb wines of quality and consistency. We specialise in distinctive wines including a wide range of alternative varietals, often available to try in our tasting room.
The Wise property is home to one of Margaret River’s most renowned restaurants, the only one to overlook both the vines and the ocean. In a truly iconic setting, surrounded by vineyards and the pristine natural bushland of Meelup Regional Park, Wise Wine overlooks the sublime blue waters of Geographe Bay. We invite you to share our tranquil surrounds, incredible food and top quality wines and gin.
