The Hidden Gem of Geographe - with Pippa Nielsen

Send us a text

We are about to head to Western Australia - but not to Margaret River. We’re going a little further north to discover one of the state’s best-kept secrets: the Geographe wine region.

My guest is Pippa Nielsen, co-owner of Vineyard 28, a producer that’s made its mark by championing Italian varieties like Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, and Fiano. Pippa shares how this coastal-meets-hillside region is carving out its own identity - balancing tradition, innovation, and a deep sense of community.

We talk about Geographe’s rich history, its bold alternative varieties, and how collaboration, not competition, is driving the region forward.

It’s a story of pioneers, passion, and a piece of Western Australia that’s quietly redefining what great wine can be.

Here’s my conversation with Pippa Nielsen of Vineyard 28.
