Dudley Wines is a boutique, family-run vineyard, winery and cellar door that proudly produces an authentic Kangaroo Island product, passionately crafted by fifth-generation islander Brodie Howard. Dudley Wines’ vineyards are situated in a beautiful valley, within the Howards’ 4000-acre property, known by the locals as Porky Flat. Although it is a working beef cattle farm, the estate is still approximately thirty percent untouched native bushland.

Kangaroo Island’s maritime conditions of fresh evening sea breezes throughout the ripening season, result in grapes with concentrated and clearly defined varietal flavour components.

Dudley Wines’ picturesque, award-winning cellar door (just twelve kilometres from the ferry terminal in Penneshaw) is perched atop the stunning north coast of Kangaroo Island, and features breathtaking views overlooking the Backstairs Passage and mainland Australia.

Visitors to the cellar door can relax while enjoying one of the wine tasting experiences on offer as they sample island-inspired dishes from the small seasonal menu. There is also local produce and artwork, as well as an exquisite range of wool and natural-fibre clothing for sale. For the young, and young at heart, there is a nature playground and ‘golf across the gully’.

The cellar door features an event space, which provides the perfect backdrop for your island wedding. There is a large lawn area and deck, as well as a modern, adaptable function room that can comfortably seat 150 guests. Combining spectacular coastal views with a rural outlook, country feel and warm, local hospitality, Dudley Wines offers a wedding experience like no other.

With something for everyone, Dudley Wines is a not-to-be-missed experience for anyone planning a trip to nature’s paradise, Kangaroo Island.
