At Sittella’s cellar door, their wines can be tasted and purchased, and Sittella’s restaurant is certainly worth a visit. The menu is modern Australian cuisine and the view from the restaurant’s verandah is quite inspiring. It also is considered quite idyllic for weddings. The winery is located on a picturesque landscape in the heart of the Swan Valley wine-growing region, with the Darling Range escarpment as a backdrop.

Wine Leaders' Choice

Swan Valley, Australia
Rolling hills and undulating vineyards formed the back drop for Simon and Maaike Berns’ travels through France in the eighties. The couple experienced the food, the wines, the French passion for growing grapes, making their own wines and their love for live ‘savoir vivre’. It was this inspiration that Simon and Maaike took back with them to Perth.
The couple purchased land in the Swan Valley in 1993 and began to plant a vineyard on weekends. Initially Verdelho, a Portuguese variety, Chardonnay and Shiraz were planted. Later other varieties such as Petit Verdot and Tempranillo, suitable to the Swan Valley’s hot climate. More recently fruit has been sourced from their vineyard in Margaret River and fruit purchased from Frankland River.
