A James Halliday 5 Star winery, Nikola Estate meticulously crafts wines from the original grapevines planted at this historic estate in the 1830s. This winery embodies the knowledge and foresight that has been faithfully passed down through four generations of the Yukich family, caretakers of the rare old grapevines.
Nikola Estate is reinvigorating the old vineyard plots to create world-class fine wines that are a faithful blend of the Swan Valley’s cultural beginnings, with a focus on sustainable viticulture. The wine collection has grown exponentially since the arrival of winemaker, Damian Hutton, with four ranges in its portfolio – the Gallery, Regional, Estate and the Rare fortified collection. Damian was named the Ray Jordan Winemaker of the Year for 2023.
The winery's 1836 Collection of spirits includes two gins and a vodka crafted from Nikola Estate wine. Born in the Swan Valley and distilled from premium Shiraz grapes grown on vines with over 50 years of heritage, these Pioneer’s Pursuit spirits have been crafted with the same pioneering spirit that has defined the estate since 1836.
Enjoy a wine tasting at the Cellar Door or a gourmet picnic under the shade of the majestic jacaranda trees on this stunning estate. Indulge in a degustation lunch service at Woodcutters Restaurant, with a menu driven by the region’s rich and multicultural agricultural heritage.
