Join us for a conversation with Kim Tyrer, CEO and winemaker at Galafrey Wines in Mount Barker, one of Western Australia’s pioneering family-owned wineries.
At just 25, Kim took the reins of the business following her father’s sudden passing. What began as a crash course in survival evolved into a 20-year journey of learning, leadership, and building a resilient vineyard renowned for its dry-grown vines and award-winning Riesling.
Kim shares how she turned early chaos into clarity, why trusting herself became her greatest business lesson, and what it really takes to run a vineyard in regional Western Australia.
"It doesn't matter really what road you are on, you need to just start somewhere."
We unpack the realities behind the romance of wine, from managing people and relationships to balancing creativity, business pressure, and family life. Kim shares what it takes to build something lasting on the land, and why trusting your own judgment is often the most important decision you’ll make.
