Our collective aim is to create truly world class event dining experiences for our guests so they will want to return again and again. 

We are delighted, incredibly proud and very humbled to be recognised with these awards.

Winning 4 awards at tonight’s event means we have now received 42 Gold Plates – an amazing achievement for a brand which began in the Swan Valley 183 years ago and has operated continuously since. 

Since inception in 1967, The Catering Institute of Western Australia’s Gold Plate Awards program has rewarded excellence and encouraged hospitality professionals to strive for success.

To be judged successfully each time requires consistent effort, dedication, attention to detail and reaching the very highest guest standards.  It was fantastic the 2023 program recognised our functions operation for the first time since 2012.

We are grateful for the time and commitment of the program’s judges, and we salute all the other category finalists for 2023. 

We are completely committed to exceeding guests’ expectations at every Sandalford Wines experience we deliver. This aim is part of the vision of owners Peter and Debra Prendiville, who have progressively developed and positioned our business as the leading wine tourism asset in Australia.

Recognition from The Catering Institute caps off a year which has seen Sandalford Wines win the accolades of our state’s Restaurant of the Year, Best Restaurant in a Winery, Best Contemporary Australian Dining (HostPlus Awards for Excellence) and join the Top 100 Restaurants finalists in the 2024 WA Good Food Guide Awards next month.

Finally, we extend our utmost gratitude to you –
our diners, our community, our valued guests. 
It is for you, and because of you, we strive every day for excellence.
Thank you sincerely from all of us at Sandalford Wines,
Swan Valley Estate.
