Our Team

Lisa Schweighardt loves making craft wine. Seeing the product come together from start to finish feels like magic, even after 11 years of working in wine production. Earlier in life, Lisa poured her energy into raising her large family of 6 daughters before going to work for the craft wine production department at the Perth Brewery in 2008. Affectionately calling her department “The Wine Room”, Lisa managed every aspect of production for over 11 years. Now, with her youngest in University, Lisa is excited to write a new chapter for herself, bringing her own idea of The Wine Room to life. The creativity associated with customizing wines for clients really fills Lisa’s cup (pun intended!). With her experience and passion for wine making, and her extensive knowledge of her product line, Lisa is proud to introduce you to the new Wine Room. Lisa’s favourite wine is a White German Muller Thurgau, which she loves for its smooth, sweet finish.

Another former Perth Brewery wine guru, Deb has been developing her knowledge and expertise over the past 24 years. She knows the products inside and out and will help you choose the perfect wine to suit your needs. Deb’s smiling face and friendly personality make the process fun and easy. We’re thrilled to have her as part of the new Wine Room team! When she’s not working with wine, Deb enjoys spending time with friends and her beautiful grandchildren.

Mike has been in the wine making business for over 11 years. A critical member of our production team, Mike does the heavy lifting around The Wine Room (there’s a lot of it!) He has great energy and is always kind and hardworking. In his spare time Mike enjoys music and spending time with friends over a glass of his favourite Pinot Grigio.
