The Bickley Harvest Festival is on this Saturday and Sunday. We will be offering tastings (including FOUR new wines!), cheese platters, cake and coffee and if you’re lucky you may even get to try some freshly roasted chestnuts. Take a copy of the map and explore the awesome Bickley Valley region, there is so much on offer. It really is Perth’s best kept secret. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to find out more about what we will have on offer.
As we will be attending the Perth Hills Wine Show on the weekend of the 19th & 20th of October, our Cellar Door facility will be closed to all visitors. We do welcome all our regular visitors to share the many wonderful wines that the Perth Hills has to offer by visiting us, and the other exhibitors, at the Kalamunda History Village, Railway Road, Kalamunda from 11.00am to 5.00pm. This venue is a just a hop, step and a jump from the well known Zig Zag Cultural Center located in the heart of Kalamunda. For more details, follow this link to the Perth Hills Vignerons Society events calendar.

All prizes can be viewed, and sampled, at our newly constructed Cellar Door facility which has recently been improved to include an outdoor undercover area to protect those who visit us during the winter months. A reminder that we offer wine tastings at no charge, the option to buy wine by the glass, and a lite food service being cheese platters matched to the wine of your choice. And once the serious work is complete, you might be enticed to a slice of cake and a freshly brewed coffee.
We hope to see you soon!
Another first for Due Jolly Winery. We contributed to the 2012 Bickley Carmel Harvest Festival taking the opportunity to share our wine, introduce our almost completed Cellar Door facility to the region’s wine lovers, and meet a lot of new friends. Whilst we had hoped to have the Cellar Door completed in time for the Festival, time got the better of us all. Thanks to all of our friends and family who assisted on the day, including our hard working landlord, Ray Ferrari. Ray was the experienced gentlemen winning people over with his freshly roasted chestnuts, and crispy fresh fruit.
We can promise a completed Cellar Door facility for the 2013 festival. It should be open for business in early August.
Many people discover the wineries in and around the Perth Hills region as a result of other events. One annual event that does a lot to support the Perth Hills region is Quit Targa West. Due Jolly Winery was proud to support car 12c during the 2009, 2010 and 2011 events being a 1976 Porsche 3.0L Carrera. You can see our pint sized logo at the front end of this little red rocket. For more Quit Targa West images, check out the gallery.
