Sunset Wine Experiences

News update

Take in the natural beauty of the Grampians at sunset from the highest vantage point in our vineyard.

Sneak preview HERE

After being collected from your home or holiday accommodation, your experience will begin in our wine tasting room at Miners Ridge.  Here you will be guided through a relaxed and casual private tasting of our small but impressive range of wines.  Once you have chosen your preferred bottle of wine to enjoy while watching the sunset you will be transported to our nearby vineyard.  You will be driven to the highest vantage point on the hill where you spend an hour or so, soaking in the rugged beauty of the Australian bush and the magnificent sunset over the Grampians.

A Miners Ridge picnic hamper of all things that go well with wine, will be provided for you to enjoy with your wine.

Seriously Shiraz Virtual Masterclass

News update

20 days to go….


A Grampians Wine Tasting Masterclass At Home

THE GRAMPIANS, known for its warm days and cool nights, has been the perfect place for the wide variety of grapes grown in the area to thrive since planting began at St Peters Vineyard in 1863. But if there is one variety that the region is known for, it is its distinctive Shiraz.

What have we been up to in lockdown?

News update


Like many businesses during the recent lockdowns, we were kept busy during this time and had the opportunity to revisit our business model and plans for the future.

Unfortunately with the current restrictions in place across Victoria and the likelihood that this wont alter much over the next 12 months we have decided not to open our Tasting Room to visitors unless they have booked a time. We still look forward to welcoming people onto our property and to taste our wines, but to adhere to the restrictions we are only allowed very few people at a time. This will protect both us and our visitors.

We continue to build our online store and also add to our list of retailers that now stock our wine. For Ararat locals in addition to being able to purchase our wines from the Premix King, you will also find them in the Regional Wine section of Ararat IGA. Our Shiraz can be enjoyed by the glass at SEDE cafe as well!

For visitors to Halls Gap and the Grampians you will find our wines at Grampians Wine Cellar, Halls Gap General store and available by the glass at Flame Brothers Restaurant.

Our whole range is available for purchase directly from us via our online store with delivery anywhere in Australia. Check back regularly for new releases and specials. If you are unsure what to buy, try our mixed six pack special!

Thanks all, and cheers to good health!

Two new 2020 Rieslings…. so what are the differences?

News update

Both from the same vineyard and picked the same year, how can they be so different?

2020 Miners Ridge Riesling

Alcohol:            11.5%                
Colour:              Pale straw.      
Bouquet:          Subtle floral and lime notes.
Palate:              Crisp, balanced and delicate palate of the typical Grampians citrus flavours with hints of honey, passionfruit and white peach are followed by a fine, persistent finish.
Vintage:            A challenging growing season with low yields but a perfect ripening period this wine is showing all the characteristics of a true cool climate Riesling.
Cellaring:          Ready to drink now as a fresh young wine and will also age for a few years.
Price:                 $25 a bottle

2020 Miners Ridge Merino Block Riesling
Alcohol:            13%                   
Colour:              Pale straw.      
Bouquet:          Subtle floral and lime notes.
Palate:              Soft fruity palate, with a long luscious finish. 
Vintage:            After a challenging growing season the fruit ripened to a high standard allowing us to keep this fruit on the vine for three weeks longer than normal.  The fermentation was arrested early to allow a slight amount of residual sugar to remain.
Cellaring:          Ready to drink now as a fresh young wine and will also age for a few years.
Price:                 $30 a bottle

Both now available at our online store.
