About RiverBank Estate
RiverBank Estate sits adjacent to the old RiverBank Juvenile Detention Centre which was built in the 1960’s and housed boys who found themselves in trouble with the law. Rebellious holds two meanings; in reference to these troubled youth and to our unique wines being different to the mainstream varietals.
A fruit driven, medium bodied red with black cherry aromatics, Turkish delight mid palate and a long lingering finish. A contemporary, elegant and well-structured wine.
RiverBank Estate was first planted on the fertile banks of the Swan River in 1988 and has grown to encompass nearly thirty acres of mature, low yielding vines, producing exceptional fruit that is lovingly handcrafted into premium, regional, varietal wines, vinified and bottled on-site.

The venue features the main structure which can be transformed from a restaurant setting into a stunning wedding and events location. See our Weddings and Private Events for more details.

This area is the designated ceremony location and for good reason; overlooking the vineyards, this ceremony spot has 180 degree, panoramic views towards the Swan River and the historical landmark of Woodbridge House.
