Wine flies when you’re having fun at Brookside Winery, Bickley, WA 🍷

Living in Western Australia we are fortunate to have many wineries around us. Whether they are in the Perth Hills, Swan Valley or further down south towards Margaret River, we are surrounded. We don’t live too far from Perth Hills or Swan Valley and tend to visit for Sunday lunch or sometimes midweek. There are always a few new ones popping up and I like to visit places we haven’t been before, although that is getting harder. Also it’s a good excuse for hubby to take the car for a spin.

Not all the wineries have restaurants attached and some are just “cellar door” only. All are located in beautiful countryside with fantastic views.

A few weeks ago we tried Brookside in Bickley which is in the Perth Hills. The journey for us takes around 40 minutes and we try to get there for 1.30 pm to avoid the lunchtime rush. The restaurant itself is called The Vineyard Kitchen and it has a wonderful menu, featuring homegrown vegetables and fresh local produce.

  • Twice Cooked Duck Leg
  • Slow cooked Beef Cheeks
  • Spiced lamb and feta parcel
  • Panko crusted pork cheek

The winery is set in beautiful grounds and has its own fruit trees and vegetable garden. It’s a good place for a family lunch as there is plenty of space for a runaround after with the kids. There are also some lovely rustic spots for photos.

Wonderful winter weather

  • Hello there!

I’m definitely going to add this winery to my list of favourites. It was great to stretch our legs around the vineyards after our lunch and a few wines!

Thanks for reading and watch out for some more reviews of Western Australian Wineries.

  6. Love my partners in wine. Alison, I’m going for the feta lamb, and of course, the wine.

  7. My boyfriend David and I try to go to a winery each Sunday during the months they are open. We talk about going to different ones each weekend but it is hard because we do have our favorites and we love to go where we know the wine is good and the atmosphere is nice.
