Our Review
Erl Happ is a potter, winemaker, creator and experimenter. He designed and built the mudbrick, concrete form and timber winery and made the first crusher. In ’94, he planted a 30ha vineyard at Karridale to no less than 28 varieties, including some of the earliest plantings of tempranillo in Australia. The Three Hills label is made from varieties grown at this vineyard.

Information
Happs was the first winery in the region to introduce an outdoor, self-serve wine-tasting experience where you get to try a wine from its vast selection of 39 wines at a free wine tasting in a stunning, relaxing, family-friendly setting.
The cellar door hosts an extensive pottery and gallery area, showcasing local artists, jewellers and potters. It also hosts artists in residence at varying times during the year so you can watch them in action and attend creative workshops.
The only days it is closed are Christmas Day, Boxing Day, Good Friday and from 10–12 on Anzac Day.
