The Frankland River wine region is one of the State’s most successful growing regions. With a diverse range of grape varieties grown, it is most noted for its shiraz and Riesling. Other varieties gaining world recognition include cabernet sauvignon and sauvignon blanc. The wineries feature beautiful grounds and offer tastings at their cellar doors, some by appointment.
