Voyager Estate began life as Freycinet Estate, its
first vines being planted in 1978. When it was purchased
in 1991 and became Voyager Estate, the first move was
to expand the original 44 hectares by buying three adjoining
properties, bringing the total area to 300 hectares.
Over the next few years a program of extensive modernization
and improvement was undertaken.
Taking pride of place is a magnificent cellar sales
building, constructed in the enduring South African
Cape Dutch style of architecture. The choice of this
handsome and functional style of architecture reminds
visitors that the first vines planted in Western Australia
in 1829 were introduced from South Africa. The expansive
gardens are now maturing and transforming Voyager Estate
into a place of singular tranquility and beauty.
