2010 marks a very special year in the history of Sandalford Wines. Not only does the company this year celebrate its 170 year anniversary this year, it also marks our 40th year as vine growers in the famed Margaret River region, arguably one of the greatest premium wine producing areas not only in Australia but anywhere in the world.
Sandalford's wine and wine tourism operations/facilities have been expanded and refined over the past 20 years since the Prendiville family acquired the business in 1991. Under their guidance, our Swan Valley operations have been extensively developed and today the wine tourism facilities are recognised among the very best in Australia.
Many accolades have been awarded to our many wine related offerings in the last decade and some of the more recent include:
