Faber Vineyard

Loved it, loved it, loved it! Came here on a recommendation from another vineyard and so glad we did. They only open on weekends, weekdays by appointment. They don’t seem to take large groups but that is one of the reasons I loved it. You grab yourself a table or a couch and the owner comes out, has a chat and then starts the tasting options beought to your table. There is a kitchen that offers platters as well to eat as you taste or you can buy glasses of wine. Easy spot to spend an hour or so tasting and chatting with your companions. Will definitely come back to do this again. The wines again were lovely, sourced from grapes both at the vineyard and from the Manjimup region. Highly recommend if you have a couple friends who love wine and a chat out in the valley!

My partner and I got a deal for lunch and a wine tasting at Faber Vineyard, and it made a lovely excursion to Swan Valley for a day (combined with a few other stops). We got there a few minutes early, and (after being greeted by the pleasant owner) had time to play with the über-​cute pups and wander through the lovely backyard/​vineyards. A nice, peaceful setting to put us in a relaxed, indulgent mood!
Once everyone had arrived (I think there were about 12 of us altogether?), we had the wine tasting. I’m really more of a beer or cocktail girl, so critiquing wine is certainly not my forte. I did enjoy several of the wines on offer (especially the Autumn Harvest), and my partner, who is a bit more knowledgeable in that regard, enjoyed them as well. We didn’t end up actually purchasing any, however.
Lastly, we had the lunch, which was totally scrumptious. The voucher said lunch would be soup with bread and a tasting platter, so I was a little unsure as to how substantial it was going to be. We were pleasantly surprised! The bowls of pumpkin soup were enormous and absolutely delicious — very filling, down-​home, comfort food but with a little something extra that elevated it. The bread was really nice as well. The tasting plate had a variety of meats, cheeses, etc. and offered a nice, plentiful variety! There was also more wine, pleasant service, no hard-​sells and all the time we wanted to linger and enjoy ourselves.
Not being a big wine person, I may not be rushing back here immediately, but I absolutely recommend it and can certainly see myself back here again! Beyond being just a winery and tasting, it was a really lovely meal and fabulous atmosphere.
