Centare Vineyard is located in the heart of the Yarra Valley and pays homage to the heritage of the region, producing wines from original 1998 plantings of Chardonnay, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, while pushing the boundaries of fruit quality and wine expectation with a unique, ’no-expense’ spared high-density Cabernets project planted in 2020. One Centare = One square metre.
[This winery may no longer be operating.] CJ Wines is your classic ‘tin-shed’ start up. It was at the tiny Tarcoola winery, in the Moorabool region of Geelong in 2013, that David Crawford (winemaker) and Phil Joiner (Sales & Marketer) started their winemaking partnership; David with over 20years winemaking experience in Northern Victoria and Margaret River before settling in Geelong, and Phil with over 20 years of sales and marketing experience at larger & smaller wine producers. They quickly outgrew the ‘tin shed’ and have a new home at the former Pettavel winery at Mount Duneed, Geelong. Always looking to produce ripping value wines they focus on sourcing their fruit primarily from Geelong and Heathcote, where David has strong relationships with grape growers. Currently they produce wine under the Hereford Wines (www.herefordwines.com), St Erth (www.st-erthwines.com) and Redcastle (Dan Murphy's exclusive) brands.
Since December 2008 Cosmo Wines has been located in the Bianchet Winery. Following structural changes to the business structures on site the Bianchet Vineyard also came under Lindsay Corby's control leading to development of the Cellar Door within the winery, separating the winery from the restaurant business which also operates on the site. As the vineyard is rejuvenated it is pleasing to focus more on producing great wines from the dry-grown 40+ year old vines which will be presented under the Bianchet label.
Eldorado Road is truly a family project consuming our lives, robbing our weekends now dedicated to making wines, developing vineyards and restoring the old block. Often demanding but truly rewarding.
Eldorado is located in the Beechworth foothills equidistant between Beechworth and Wangaratta. Our tiny home vineyards are located on Eldorado Road and only several kilometres from the quaint hamlet of Eldorado.
Michelle is humbled by wine. She studied wine for far too long, yet still somehow studies it to this day. Having cut her oenological teeth in Washington state, Davis California, and outback Australia, she has been fortunate enough since then to coax her porphyritic hands into crafting halcyon California wines at such prestigious sites as Colgin Cellars and Cliff Lede Vineyards in Napa Valley, and Peter Michael Winery in Sonoma Valley. She continues to advise at Napa’s Bryant Family Vineyards, complementing her winemaking projects in Napa, Sonoma, Italy,
and Victoria.
This canny and seductive creature loves instinctive and nocturnal adventures. He enjoys nothing more than retiring to his den to sip on a glass of grape juice after a busy night of hen heckling and turkey taking. Enjoy MISTER FOX with your own skulk or fellow bandits.
[This winery may no longer be operating.] The Mt 0° wines (pronounced Mount Zero Degrees) are all about reflecting the tastes and characters of cold climates in Victoria. The Pinot Gris comes from the Alpine Valley region in North Eastern Victoria with the Shiraz from the Grampians and Alpine regions.
The Story Wines is a small, high quality winery unconventionally located the Melbourne suburb of Moorabbin, making wines from the Western Victoria's Grampians region, alongside other carefully selected cold climate vineyards. Established in 2004 among the ‘new wave’ of young, ‘hands-off’ Victorian winemakers, winemaker Rory Lane specialises in elegant and intriguing expressions of Rhône varieties, particularly its single-site and old vine Syrahs. The Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier blend is a stylistic benchmark, and more recent explorations of Grenache and Mourvedre are becoming equally important style drivers for the region. The hyper-convenient tasting room offers a unique and intimate tasting experience that is a must-visit for visitors and Melbourne locals alike.
[This winery may no longer be operating.] Award winning wineries Mitchelton, Plunkett Fowles and Tahbilk are joining forces as 'Victoria's Heartland Wineries'.
[This winery may no longer be operating.] Vitis Botanica is a lightly sparkling grape drink made with the complexity of a finely hand-crafted wine, without the alcohol. It’s a sophisticated alternative to wine, superior in taste and quality, to be enjoyed by everyone for all occasions.
