Meleri Winery, a remnant feature of an early winery, has cultural heritage significance as evidence of the early development of the viticulture industry in the region.
At present, only a small brick and iron building remains on site. The vineyards have been removed.
Meleri winery was one of the first in the district. Jimmy Meleri and family arrived in Yallingup in the 1920s – 1930s with a number of fellow Italian migrants who used the skills they had acquired in their home land to develop a wine industry in the area. Meleri bought a property of 560 acres and eventually cultivated 10 acres of vines.
