Our History

Established in 1995 by the Home family, Preveli Wines is a small producer of super premium wines from the Margaret River region.

Preveli Wines is named after a true heroic story:

On the Greek Island of Crete there is a monastery named Preveli which provided shelter and assistance to many Australian soldiers who were trying to escape capture from the Germans during WWII. This involved not only the Cretans of the monastery but many young men of the 2/11 battalion – the “City of Perth Regiment” amongst which was Corporal Geoff Edwards who built a Cretan church on the hill above his seaside community and named his home in Western Australia Prevelly Park in tribute to the Cretans of the monastery.

This seaside community near Margaret River is where the Home family has lived for many years.

The Home's also own and operate the Prevelly Park Beach Resort and Prevelly Liquor Store where Preveli Wines are tasted.

The Preveli vineyard is situated 15 km south east of the Margaret River township, near a small community called Rosabrook.

Preveli Wines are made under contract by Sharna Kowalczuk.

The Preveli vineyard at Rosabrook consists of Semillon, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon. Fruit is also sourced from several long-term suppliers in and around the Rosabrook area.

Our Location

Preveli Wines vineyard is arguably in the purest wine environment in the world.

The vineyards from which Preveli Wines emerge represent optimum growing conditions.

In a short period of time the Margaret River wine region has surged to prominence in Australia and around the world.

The potential of the region was first identified in the early 1960’s by Dr John Gladstone. He wrote a report for the state government on wine-grape agricultural prospects. In light of his findings, the late ‘60’s’ saw a small number of vineyards planted, including those of Vasse Felix, Cullen and Moss Wood.

Although growth was gradual throughout the 1970’s, in recent years Margaret River has expanded rapidly, becoming one of Australia’s finest wine producing regions.

Margaret River and Prevelly are tourism ‘hot spots’ due to their spectacular coastline, surfing, fishing, and relaxed atmosphere.
