Recently on a trip to WA's stunning south west region we visited 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘀 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘆 & 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆. What a delightful spot!
Happs is a family owned, award winning winery located in Dunsborough and displayed amongst lush beautiful gardens.
A grand display of over 40 hand crafted wines to taste in an outdoor setting overlooking the grounds - a self-serve outdoor cellar door experience - unlike any other winery we have previously visited.
The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and gave you space to leisurely enjoy your wine tastings.
Commonage Pottery and Art Gallery is a working studio within Happs’ winery, which includes pottery, paintings, sculptures and stunning jewellery all handcrafted by local artists. Pottery classes are available to visitors.
Happs also offer a variety of gourmet foods from local suppliers, a great idea if you want to grab a bottle and create your own picnic hamper to share. They will even supply you with a picnic basket, rug and serving board.
Delicious wines and stunning venue - what's not to...
Read moreVisited Happs Wines and Commonage Pottery yesterday afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed the experience . On arrival, the excellent signage welcomed and directed us easily to the respective areas The pottery and art displayed in the gallery was exceptional. We arrived a little late in the day to catch the resident potter at work. We were greeted in the "self-serving" wine tasting area, overlooking the beautiful gardens and winery by Karen, the lovely and friendly tasting host of the day who helped us with any questions we had about this unique experience. Even in the process of "packing up" for the day, Karen maintained her friendly and engaging manner as other late comers arrived. Our Kelpie, Bella had the best hour and a half of her day, rolling on the beautiful lawns, smelling her way through the lovely gardens and being entertained by the children of our fellow winetasters. Seriously, a lovely and unique experience - not to be missed. And,did I forget to mention, the wines are definitely worth the visit...
Read moreWhat an amazing experience! My partner and I came for the lovely pottery, and were blown away by the wine. After a lovely meander through the cosy rooms displaying all the gorgeous pottery, we were directed through to the win tasting set up outside and absolutely can't speak highly enough of the experience.
Happs has a self-serve set up like I've never seen, with all of their extensive wines arranges on shelving and tapped. You're provided a (generously sized) wine glass, given the rundown on how everything works, and off you go! Convenient little QR codes next to every bottle give you a description of what you're sampling, and you can take your time only trying what you want to (and as much of it as you like) at your own pace! All with a view of the gorgeous sprawling gardens carefully and lovingly maintained by the owners.
I will be recommending this place for anyone travelling down...
