Rhys & Emma Parker

Vallée du Venom is Rhys and Emma Parker and their ‘Urban Micro Winery’ in Dunsborough, Western Australia. The winery is located in the north of the world renowned Margaret River Wine Region.

With access to premium vineyards and reliable maritime climate vintages, Vallée du Venom produce small batch, terroir driven wines centered around a minimal intervention ethos.

Without the benefit of inheriting vineyards or a winery nor wishing to relinquish control to a third party winemaking facility, Rhys and Emma started from scratch. Converting a bare, concrete warehouse in the heart of Dunsborough into a winery, the Urban Micro Winery concept was as much as a necessity as it was a vision.

Vallée du Venom strive to produce wines that elicit a sense of place and time and reflect the environmental conditions of the annual harvest. They guide the grape to bottle and don’t attempt to reproduce the same wine year in year out. It’s about celebrating the individuality of each vintage and the vineyards the wine comes from.
