Baskerville: Homestead, history and wine

Baskerville offers two distinct themes to consider when planning a trip: Baskerville Homestead, with its architectural and settlement history, and Faber Vineyard, with its wine production and wine studio. If you are looking for a hotel in Baskerville, having a clear reason for your trip can help you decide. Would you prefer to connect your stay with architectural heritage, or are wine and tastings the main focus? This can help you decide which theme you would like to shape your stay.

Baskerville Homestead: Architecture and history

Despite substantial alterations, Baskerville Homestead has aesthetic value as a representative example of the Victorian-Georgian architectural style. Both its stylistic influences and the changes made to the building are therefore relevant to understanding its architecture. The address is 130 Memorial Avenue, Baskerville. The combined name links two historic architectural traditions.

Historically, the Homestead is associated with William Tanner’s original Baskerville Estate, and later with Walter Padbury and Henry Hardwick. It is considered one of the earliest estates settled in the Swan Valley; it is also associated with the wider subdivision of the Swan Valley in the early 1900s. These connections trace a path from early settlement through the history of the Estate to the later subdivision of the land. This allows you to understand the property not only through its architecture, but also through its place in the history of the land.

Wine offering and wine studio at Faber Vineyard

Faber Vineyard’s wine studio offers tastings to help you select wines to purchase. Wine is also available by the glass or bottle to enjoy on site. The options differ in purpose: tastings are for selecting wines to buy, while a glass or bottle lets you enjoy wine on site. Faber Vineyard is located at 233 Haddrill Road, Baskerville.

Faber Vineyard produces and sells single-varietal Petit Verdot as well as three different styles of Shiraz. Its wine production therefore includes a named single-varietal Petit Verdot as well as several Shiraz styles. These details add a specific picture of the production to the overview of the wine studio. If you are interested in a particular wine, bear in mind that product availability can change.

The published opening schedule may also change. Check it before planning your visit; the availability of a particular wine is a separate matter.
