The vines were originally planted by a local judge and his family in 1987.

Husband and wife team Hilton and Nicola Butler are now the proprietors of Avalon Wines.

They have three sons and it is very much a family business as friends and family help out around the vineyard.


Nicola and Tobias during picking season March 2004

Attracted by the wonderful countryside in Western Australia and in particular to the spectacular beauty of the Perth Hills Hilton and Nicola decided to pursue the "good life" in the country at the beginning of 2004. 

 

 

Hilton and Nicola have built a Tasting Deck on the property to allow others to sample the view across the tree-tops with a fine glass of wine in hand.

The Tasting Deck with its fantastic views across the Darling Scarp and bar area is finished. Come and enjoy the view over the tree-tops with us. Cellar door open every Sunday 11am to 5pm.

We have just completed bottling of the 2006 vintage. We have a new Classic White, Chadonnay, Semillion and Cabernet Merlot. Watch this space for news.

The vines are growing healthy and  rapidly now with unusually high rainfalls during August in WA now giving way to warm spring weather.

We have now launched our new brand logo with the current release of wines. The branding will be applied across all advertising and builds on the strong medieval knight on horseback theme of Avalon. See Pictures.
