The proprietors of Aravina Estate are Steve Tobin, a seventh generation Western Australian, and his partner, Hayley Munro-Tobin.[1] Their aim is to transform the winery into "the No 1 tourist destination in the southwest", with a restaurant, cafe, function centre, homewares store, water garden and sports car gallery, amongst other attractions.[2]

As of 2013, Tobin's car collection, on display in the gallery, comprised 15 cars. It included a Ford Falcon GTHO Phase III, a Valiant Charger E49 "Six Pack", a Holden Torana A9X, a Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Competizione, and a Lamborghini Miura S previously owned by Twiggy, the English model, actress and singer.[3][4]
