The story of False Cape Wines began in 1999, when Jamie and Julie Helyar planted the very first vines. The winery enjoyed its first vintage in 2003 and later opened the cellar door in December 2019 just prior to the Kangaroo Island bushfires. Since its creation, the cellar door has been the perfect location to enjoy stunning vineyard views and beautiful native gum trees along the picturesque Wilson River. The custom-built rustic charm of the recycled wood, jetty timbers, local limestone and wood fires all come together to create a cosy, warm and relaxed atmosphere for anyone who visits.

On the beautiful site you will find a huge deck and sprawling lawn space for summertime gatherings, including a nature play area and basketball court to keep the kids entertained while you enjoy some much-needed relaxation with a glass of wine. False Cape Wines offers delicious platters, homemade pies, a kid’s menu, summer salads and winter curries that complement the premium wines, all handcrafted by grapes grown on the False Cape vineyard.
