  Stella Bella Wines is an Australian winery based at Margaret River, in the Margaret River wine region of Western Australia.
  
  ## History
  
  The winery was established in July 1996, when Stuart Pym, then a winemaker at Voyager Estate, and Janice McDonald leased a vineyard, with investor support. Its first wines were produced during the 1997 vintage.
  
  By 2009, Australian wine writer James Halliday was rating the winery as one of the Margaret River region's best.
