Quindalup fave Blind Corner converts their cellar door into wine bar and microbrewery
Blind Corner, the much-loved organic winery tucked away in Quindalup, is giving Margaret River locals and summer visitors a new reason to linger a little longer these upcoming holidays and beyond.
This Thursday the team will officially open Bar Nature — a laid-back wine and beer haven set on the Blind Corner farm, with vineyard views stretching out toward the Yallingup ridge and drinks made just metres away in the shed out the back.
It’s casual, family- and dog-friendly, and designed for unhurried afternoons that turn into golden-hour evenings, with organic wines, small-batch beers and good snacks at the centre of it all.
