The Lamont’s family have been making wine in WA’s Swan Valley since 1978. From humble beginnings, Corin Lamont started the winery with the guiding hand of her father Jack Mann, one of WA’s most notable winemakers. No Winemaker in the history of Western Australia has contributed more to the state’s wine industry than Jack Mann. His creative genius influenced a remarkable 51 consecutive vintages. The tradition has continued and today Lamont’s award-winning wines are bold and dramatic and pay homage to the family’s heritage.
Lamont’s was one of the Swan Valley’s first winery restaurants, having opened on April 5th, 1989 and which still flourishes today. This year, Lamont’s celebrates their 35 year milestone of serving premium wine and food.
We’ve expanded over the years to include the beautiful heritage Bishops House in Perth city, Lamont’s Wine Store in Cottesloe, and of course at Smiths Beach in Yallingup.
“Over the years we have had so many customers walk through our doors that we now call our friends. People from all walks of life have enjoyed our wines, partaken in our events and shared their special day with us. We look forward to inviting you into the fold and hope you enjoy what we have to offer.”
