Hi, I'm Stephen

Growing up on a dairy farm in Sth Gippsland meant my upbringing was infused with a passion for nature and the freedom of being outdoors in wide open spaces. This passion crossed paths with my love of wine when in 1997 one balmy night January night lying under the stars in a secluded part of Healesville I knew that this was where I belonged. I eventually bought this property in 1998 and established a vineyard here while gradually moving out of city work and life. It is in my time here that I have appreciated what the Aboriginal people mean by having a spiritual connection with their land - the beauty of this place inspires me everyday and it gives me great pleasure sharing it with all of our guests.
