Our Review
Rivendell was established in 1987 by a local Margaret River family and became recognised for its gardens, restaurant and wines. The property was purchased by private investors in '04. The ensuing 11 years saw changing ownership of the property by a number of different parties. Fast forward to '15, and Darryn and Silje (Celia) Gruenthal joined Danny and Corinne Gruenthal (Darryn’s parents) in full ownership of the property. After a few years of extensive renovations, '18 was their first release of wine under the Rivendell label. The vineyard on the property is planted mostly to cabernet sauvignon, while the fruit for the remainder of the wines is purchased from local growers. Wines are currently sold only in WA. -ERIN LARKIN

Food
Information
Rivendell Winery Restaurant is a small niche family owned business, situated on Wildwood road, running straight through the heart of the Margret River wine region. Specialising in modern Australian cuisine, the Rivendell Winery Restaurant offers a fresh and flavoursome culinary experience nestled within the tranquil Old World English gardens of the Rivendell Winery.
The food is lovingly prepared using the freshest produce from local farms, seafood that is brought in by passionate fishermen from the Indian and Southern Oceans and small goods produced and unique to the Margaret River and Yallingup area.
The charming Rivendell Gardens have been established in this area for more than 30 years and offer a beautifully relaxing and picturesque environment, glistening with pixie dust. Whether you are having a long, magical, lazy lunch
in the restaurant or on the outdoor deck, overlooking the beautiful secret gardens, listening to one of our live musicians, involved in a wedding or at a private or corporate function, you will enjoy a wonderfully memorable
dining experience.
Outdoor undercover and alfresco seating. Limited indoor seating. Bookings recommended. Full bar menu available as well as coffee and tea.
