Pinelli Estate
About
Overview & Vibe
A family winery of two generations at Caversham, in the Swan Valley for over three decades, with a rammed-earth Italian restaurant alongside the cellar door. Weddings here are small and food-led — the chef sits down with you to design the menu.
Setting & Style
Two options, and the estate frames them as a choice of formality: an informal evening reception of wine and canapés on the restaurant verandah, watching the sun set over the vineyards; or a sit-down dinner inside the rammed-earth restaurant. The vine rows themselves are where the photographs happen.
Ideal For
Couples wanting an intimate Swan Valley reception built around the food and the family's own wine, rather than a function space.
The Need-to-Knows
- Up to 70 guests inside the restaurant. The verandah option is described without a number.
- The menu is designed with you. “Our Chef is always happy to sit down with you and design the menu for your Wedding feast.” Nothing is pre-packaged and nothing is priced.
- Two addresses, and the wedding one is the restaurant — 114 Benara Road, not the Bennett Street cellar door.
- Customised wine bottles are offered as favours, with your own label, names and date.
- Contact runs through a Wedding Coordinator on the restaurant's number.
Standout Feature
A rammed-earth restaurant and a verandah over the vines, with the family's own wine and a chef who writes the menu with you.

Price Notes
- Pricing is provided on enquiry. There is no per-head rate, room hire fee, minimum spend or package figure published, which follows from how the venue works — the menu is written for each wedding rather than sold as a package: "our Chef is always happy to sit down with you and design the menu for your Wedding feast."
- The offer is a choice of two formalities: "an informal evening reception of wine and canapes on the verandah of the restaurant watching the sun setting over the vineyards", or "the more formal and elegant option of a sit down dinner in our rammed earth restaurant".
- The estate has two addresses and weddings run from the restaurant, not the cellar door. The cellar door is at 30 Bennett Street, Caversham on (08) 9279 6818; the restaurant is at 114 Benara Road, Caversham on (08) 9377 7733, and that is the number for the wedding coordinator.
- Customised wine is available as a wedding favour — choose one of the standard label designs or design your own with your names and wedding date, in standard or aged tawny, priced by quantity.
- The estate is long-established but parts of its published material are dated: the copyright line runs to 2019 and much of the venue photography is from 2017–2018, although the wedding gallery is newer. The producer licence is current.
