Our journey to Tasmania began with a deep fascination and interest in cool climate wines. It wasn’t our intention to buy a vineyard, but when we first caught sight of the Small Wonder property – gracefully perched on the edge of the Tamar Valley – we were left with no choice. We already held a list of ambitions; to care for this remarkable land, convert the vineyard to organic and restore biodiversity across the property. Our wines are a reflection of our vineyard; a diverse clonal selection from individual sites, which provide a unique varietal expression each harvest. Our twenty-hectare vineyard is nestled between native bushland, gently perched on the Western ridge of the Tamar Valley. Join us for a relaxed tasting with locally sourced gourmet platters and stunning cellar door views. Bookings are encouraged to avoid disappointment.

Our grapevine covered 'Taverna" (greek word for watering hole), is full of tables and a bar which guests can sit at whilst enjoying a locally sourced platter and wine. Our second generation business is now certified for Organic and Biodynamic, with minimal sulphites added. We hope that as the first northern commercial sized vineyard to obtain this certification, we will pave the way for others to follow suit and reduce harmful chemicals and increase biodiversity and carbon captured our beautiful state. Every decision we make considers our footprint, including the lightweight bottles we use for our wines, the glue and paper on the labels and even our composting toilets! We would love our third generation and their children to continue farming this beautiful piece of northern Tasmania into the future for all to enjoy!

Warramunda Estate is a family owned vineyard situated in Coldstream in the Yarra Valley. Purchased in 2007 with a goal to embrace the region’s unique geology, we began our work of planting new, and tending to already established vines, including Chardonnay, Viognier, Marsanne, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot and Petit Verdot and produced our first Warramunda Estate vintage in 2013. The wines exceeded our expectations and enabled us to establish a strong course - signature, handcrafted wines, which reflect our site, our skill and the quality of our fruit. In 2014 our Cellar Door opened and we began welcoming guests into this extension of our family home. We welcome you to take your time, enjoy a glass of wine and order from our food menu while enjoying the sunshine and our beautiful valley vista. The future and the passion we have for Warramunda Estate is bright. We hope you continue to come with us on the journey. #yarravalleylife #vicfood #melbournetravel #yarravalleywine #yarravalleywinery #foodtrails #yarravalley #melbournefood #australiatravel #foodtrail
