About this audio guide
This guide to Sandalford Wines in the Swan Valley traces the difference between the winery you are standing at and the eighteen-seventies homestead the Roe family actually built nearby. It follows John Septimus Roe's eighteen-forty land grant, the generations of descendants who farmed the site, and the Prendiville family's overhaul of the estate after buying it in nineteen ninety-one. Listen for how much of what surrounds you, right down to the barrel halls beneath your feet, is newer than it looks.
