The vines at Barton Jones Wines are some of the oldest vines in the Geographe wine region, being planted in 1978. The maturity of the vines is one aspect which plays an important role in the exceptional fruit quality that underpins the production of premium wines. Geographe has a long history of grape growing and more recently became an official wine appellation in 1999. It's a young, vibrant wine region now emerging as one of Australia's most exciting wine making areas. The 56 acre property includes plantings of cabernet sauvignon, shiraz, semillon and chenin blanc, all well suited to the region's climate and the well drained ironstone gravel soils which produce regionally expressive wine styles. Barton Jones Wines produce two distinct wine styles. The Barton Jones Premium Series; sold at cellar door and key restaurants around the South-West and Perth, and the Cellar Series which is available at selected South-West and Perth retail outlets.

The Memorial Hall in Donnybrook is a delightful old building built in 1919 from local Donnybrook sandstone. Originally built as a dedication to the soldiers who lost their lives in World War I, it makes for an impressive photograph from across the street. Wander around the exterior of the building to examine the brickwork before walking inside to read the marble honour board, with the names of those that fought and lost their lives in World War I. Memorial Hall also houses Donnybrook?s public library. Feel free to spend some time glancing through books about the history of the town. Alternatively sign up for a dance or karate class or take in one of the many community events that take place inside the hall throughout the year. Known as the Apple Country of the Southwest, Donnybrook is two and a half hours south of Perth and just half an hour east of Bunbury. Extremely popular with backpackers during harvest time, there are a variety of attractions and activities to entice all visitors. ...
