About Rivendell
The Owners
Darryn and Silje (Celia) own Rivendell Winery Estate together with Danny and Corinne – Darryn’s parents. Relocating to Rivendell from Perth, Darryn and Celia re-opened the Rivendell Cellar Door and Restaurant in December 2017 after a short closure for refurbishment. Darryn and Celia relocated from Perth to live on site with their two young children.
The property is situated on the corner of Commonage and Wildwood Road in the rolling hills of Yallingup. The winery is set on a hill with stunning views from the deck overlooking the renowned gardens and hills beyond. Rivendell is one of Margaret Rivers’ oldest and most beautiful and enchanting Winery Estates and is home to a large number of the great, big cockatoos as well as a raft of other wildlife.
The gardens and general estate look more amazing than ever thanks to a lot of hard, dedicated work over the past couple of years. Corinne, Celia and the kids often help with the weeding, Darryn is in charge of the lawns and Danny is a whizz on the Ferris to maintain the large fields around the estate.
Darryn and Celia own and operate the winery restaurant and cellar door that is open Thursday to Sunday. In addition to their premium wines you can enjoy a bite to eat for lunch, book in for an amazing high tea - or pop by for a coffee or tea! The food and drinks can be enjoyed inside if it's cold or out on the deck overlooking the gardens. Dogs are welcome on a lead in the outdoor areas and a playground as well as expansive lawns cater for kids to get their 'beans' out of their system. Check out the latest menu by clicking here.
Rivendell is a family owned and operated winery in Yallingup at the northern end of the Margaret River Wine Region. The winery offers wine tastings and sales alongside coffee, beer and lunch for visitors to enjoy surrounded by the beautiful, cottage gardens on site. The Estate range of wines reflects Darryn and Celia's passion for premium, classical wine varietals at an approachable price. There are several holiday homes situated within the estate that are available for rent - whether it is a sneaky weekend away or a family holiday - you and your family and friends are sure to have a great stay!
Oh and yes - the winery was named after the famous Tolkien book - Lord of the Rings when it was established in the early 1980's!
