Windy Creek Estate is a family-owned and operated winery located in the Swan Valley in the shadows of the Darling Range. The best-kept secret in wine.
Windy Creek Estate, formally Cobanov Wines, was first established in 1937 by Ante Cobanov. He had left Croatia in 1924 and spent 13 years cutting sleepers in the south-west to enable him to put a deposit on this Swan Valley property that he purchased in 1937. They grew grapes for dried fruit production but made a small amount of wine for the Perth immigrant community. The family has continued to produce wines for more than 80 years and we have been selling fruit to other wineries for approximately 40 years.
The Windy Creek Estate label was first released in 1980. Tony Cobanov, the current winemaker, entered the industry as a third-generation winemaker and is very passionate about the Swan Valley and its lifestyle. He has three sons Joshua, Callum and Rohan so it is a distinct possibility that this will become a 4th generation business.
