Holm Oak VineyardsSituated somewhat off the beaten track our cellar door exudes an irresistible rustic charm. Our property is adorned with fabulous old English trees and our cellar door is situated in the original vertical board winery. Greeted by a view surrounding the Cellar Door of breathtaking vineyards and orchards (keep an eye out for Tim hand pruning or Max and Will racing through the rows of vines) you can wander down the path to visit Pinot the Pig and feed him a few cheeky apples before reaching the Cellar Door. If Bec isn’t hard at work in the winery she may even join you for a glass of wine and tell you the story of how they came to plant 12 hectares of vines in this beautiful part of the world.

Barringwood Estate & Tuckshop at BarringwoodWe have a long mild growing season perfectly suited to creating premium quality fruit from our classic cool climate varieties of Pinot Noir (40%), Pinot Gris (20%) and Chardonnay (20%) as well as the more usual Pinot Muenier (10%) and the exotic Schönburger (10%). Initially established in 1993 as a hobby vineyard planting have now reached 5 hectares of vines with the most recent plantings in 2009. All our vineyard operations focus on producing low yields of premium grapes and believe that the key to achieving this is an unwavering attention to detail. Our vines are trained on a combination of vertical shoot positioned (VSP) trellising and a modified Scott Henry, which we began trialling in 2014. We hand prune and hand pick and use minimal drip irrigation. We employ preventative management strategies for pests and diseases to minimise the use of chemical.

Oakridge WinesWelcome to Oakridge, a family-owned, Yarra Valley winery, restaurant and cellar door, originally established in 1978 alongside a ridge of oak trees. Pioneering the wine growing region of the upper Yarra Valley, today Oakridge is an award winning winery and an internationally recognised name. Oakridge wines can be found on restaurant menus, in bottle shops and for purchase online, but there is no better place to taste than at our home in the heart of the Yarra Valley; an hour’s drive from Melbourne, in Coldstream off the Maroondah Highway. Today, Oakridge is still a family owned company, supported by the Atlas/D’Aloisio family since 2007. David Bicknell, a man who has been described as “the best maker of Chardonnay in the world” is our Chief Winemaker. In 2012, amongst numerous awards and accolades, Oakridge was voted Australian Winery of the Year in The Age & Sydney Morning Herald Good Wine Guide. In 2013, the winery clinked champagne glasses in celebration of the new Oakridge restaurant and cellar door opening to the public. Designed by architect Denton, Corker and Marshall, the stunning new building solidified Oakridge’s place as a must-visit Yarra Valley destination.

Purple Hen WineryWe are located on a small peninsula on Phillip Island, overlooking the Bay of Western Port with beautiful views of Swan Inlet, Churchill Island and Denne Bight. Purple Hen began in 2001 when Rick Lacey and Maira Vitols purchased the property - 32 hectares of prime grazing land. Planting of vines began in January 2002 with the first vintage in 2004. An on-site winery was established in 2005 and the Cellar Door opened at Easter 2006. In the ensuing years we have expanded the vineyard to its current 7.5 hecatres and established an enviable record for producing elegant and strongly varietal wines – winning over 100 Medals and 20 Trophies at wine shows in Australia. Phillip Island is best known for its tourist attractions such as the penguins, seals and koalas. We hope it will become increasingly recognised for possessing one of the best climates in Australia for the growing of quality wines.

Maddens RiseThe Maddens Rise range of wines is focused on pure expression of the Yarra Valley region. Decisions are made based on the fruit itself, and the climatic variations of each and every season. Our consistent quality of wines comes from carefully managing this balancing act. Our wines are hand made. They are varietal, showing finesse and purity. At Maddens Rise, our philosophy is to maintain, preserve and where possible, ecologically enhance the natural vineyard environment by embracing the use of ‘biological’ farming practices. Our portfolio of exceptional estate-grown wines is a reflection or our commitment to this core set of values.

Jones Winery & Vineyard RutherglenJones Winery is one of the oldest and smallest wineries in the Rutherglen District. Established in 1860 by a German migrant named Fritz Ruhe this winery was the first winery in Rutherglen where the devastating louse phylloxera, that wiped out all the vineyards in Victoria, was discovered. Fritz Ruhe lived long enough to see the vineyard replanted and died in 1914 at the age of 85. It was William Ruhe (Fritz's son) who sold the winery to Clarence Carbery in 1925. He worked the property for two years before it was bought by Leslie Jones Senior (Jimmy). The property known as Jones Winery & Vineyard has remained in the Jones Family ever since. Les Jones Jnr took over the running of the property in 1979 when his father passed away. He carried on running the winery and vineyard just like his father did before him. A cellar door sales area was added and the winery was extended during this time. Les retired in 1998. Currently Jones Winery and Vineyard is owned by the brother and sister team of Arthur Jones and Mandy Jones. They have been working the 75 hectare property since 1998 after taking over from their Uncle. The owners are the children of Les's only sibling Douglas (a Winemaker for Seppelts in Rutherglen until 1984). Having grown up surrounded by wine some of it rubbed off - whilst each one of them had followed a different career path initially, the call of wine and in particular Rutherglen was just a little bit to hard to resist.

Best's Wines Pty LtdIn 1866, Henry Best purchased 73 acres of land in Great Western and a property named Concongella. With the first vines planted in 1867, Best’s became a functioning winery by 1869. Meanwhile in 1893, Scottish born William Thomson settles in the Great Western districts and purchases a winery at Rhymney. By 1907, the Best’s trademark is registered, one of the first Australian wine companies to do so. In 1913, Henry Best aged 81 passed away and was laid to rest in the Great Western cemetery. In 1920, William Thomson and son Frederick Pinchon purchase the Best’s vineyards and winery for £10,000. In 1924, William Thomson died, passing the property to his son Frederick, who looked after it during The Great Depression of the 1930s. In 1908, Frederick (Eric) Hamill Thomson was born, forming the third generation. Then in 1938, a son Eric Vivian (Viv) Hamill Thomson was born, the fourth generation of the Thomson family. Frederick Pinchon Thomson died in Hong Kong in 1949. In 1961, Viv joined the family winery for his first vintage. A son, Benjamin Hamill Thomson arrived in 1964 as the start of the fifth generation of Thomson’s. A decade later in 1974, Viv oversaw the relocation of The Stables Cellar Door to allow for expansion and the cellar door as we now know it was erected. One year later in 1975, Viv appointed the first ‘external’ winemaker of Best’s Great Western, Trevor Mast, who would go on to be known as one of Australia’s greatest ever winemakers. Viv Thomson became President of Victorian Wine Association in 1982 and continued his role as an active National Wine Show Judge. In 1988, Simon Clayfield was appointed Best’s winemaker.

Uleybury Vineyards & WinesWe hope you enjoy your visit. Uleybury is a family owned and operated boutique winery that produces only premium quality wines that have distinguishing varietal characteristics and flavours that are inviting to the palate. The family at Uleybury welcomes guests into the cellar door like they welcome family into their homes. Friends, wine and food come together with great hospitality. Whether you are just passing by for a quick tasting or want to spend the entire afternoon at Uleybury, your experience will be truly memorable. Uleybury lies North – East of Adelaide, South Australia, within the Mount Lofty Ranges . It is a picturesque area and to add to it’s poetic beauty it also fast becoming a new wine growing area. It was here where Tony Pipicella and family first planted vines in 1995. Then in July 2000 Uleybury Wines released their 1999 Hand Picked Basket Press Uley Chapel Shiraz, 1999 Hand Picked Basket Press Grenache Shiraz and 2000 Hand Picked Semillon. The response and success of the first three labels and now their continued vintage releases, along with several other new releases has proved that Uleybury “has the elements necessary to produce quality wine”, Winestate Magazine Nov/Dec 2000. At Uleybury every vine is hand pruned to control yield level to maximise quality. It is the continuing commitment to excellence in the vineyard that is the first step in making our award winning wines. Uleybury Wines are made to reflect soil, climate, variety and season, which is a rare occurrence in an industry which is becoming dominated by large corporations that produce wines according to specifications.
