Banara Wines & Vineyards is one of Swan Valley's most enduring family wineries, established in 1937 and still family-run at 39 Benara Road, Caversham WA 6055. The estate is known for internationally award-winning fortified and liqueur wines, alongside Cabernet Sauvignon and Muscat described as "natural wines" — made from unadulterated fermented grape juice with nothing added. Banara also offers a broad range of specialty jams, marmalades, chutneys, olive oil and white balsamic vinegar, plus seasonal fresh produce including grapes, melons, figs and garlic available January to April. The property is open seasonally — four days per week January to April, and weekends only the rest of the year — though formal wine tastings are not offered. No organic certification is stated.
