Our vineyard was planted in 1999 and since then we have progressively increased our production to meet demand. We are two ex school teachers who made a tree change to the Granite Belt to grow grapes, make wine and open a cellar door. It’s a hands-on operation as all processes are completed by the two of us on site. We skillfully create regional wines that exhibit strong varietal fruit characters.

This winery is celebrating 20 years in 2019 and it is always worth a visit. You might be welcomed by their winery dog Ralph or by the smiling faces of Sue and Warren - but you will always get a warm welcome. We recently returned with a 2006 bottle of their Bernie’s Blend (named after Warren’s dad) and man it had aged well!! So buy some to drink now and some to put away - you won’t regret it!! Beautiful location near the Girraween National Park - so lovely scenery on the way (but watch out for the local kangaroos).

I’ve only very recently started drinking wine and Sonya was more than accommodating, taking me and my partner through the whole process and explaining the wines, taste and the winemaking process. Very informative and friendly. Definitely worth visiting.

3 of us stopped here as part of a wine tour. Tony and Mary were very friendly and knowledgeable. Tony gave us a great overview of some educational info in the winemaking business which was a nice touch. Cellar door is beautifully presented, clean and with nice glasswear to taste from. Excellent vineyard to stop in at for a taste.

We stayed in Stanthorpe with family to explore the Granite Belt area. I gather so named because of all the boulders and rocks in the area. It has come a long way! Great food and world class wines as well as amazing local produce. Plenty to see and do from parks to antique shops and history. Start with the visitor information centre in Stanthorpe. Lots of accommodation options as well. We chose a farm cottage near town. A great place to spend a few days.

Best regional art gallery I've ever experienced. Beautiful setting and the gallery space is to be experienced. Speaking to some vollies they are very proud of their gallery which supports a large group of local artists as well as holding the respected Stanthorpe Art Prize biannually. Have vivisted the gallery numerous times. Got lucky to be there once when some works from the galleries extensive collection were on display. Some amazing work.

This was one of my favourite spots for the weekend. Even though I am in my mid 40's, it made me feel like a kid again, exploring through the amazing rock formation that is Donnelly's castle. Its a bit of trek out of the center of Stanthorpe (20 mins approx. but is well worth the drive. There is a lookout on top which is an easy walk up a gentle slope with a few stairs onto a large granite outcrop which is fenced for safety. Even though all the other boulders you can fall off of. Bit of a laugh that. Anyway, its history is of supporting a place of bushrangers to hide out in, most notably Captain Thunderbolt (AKA Frederick Wordsworth Ward) in the mid 1800's. There is a great picnic area there, small car park, some wood fire BBQ's, a council toilet as well. It would make a great area for a visit, lunch and some exploring.

Ash took his time to explain each wine and it's characteristics. Arranged freight to our home at no extra cost, After the tasting he took us out the back to show the progress of some fermenting red grapes and explained the process. Absolutely fantastic visit.

On our last visit to Oz the only wine we took home was from Boireann. Peter has since retired and the vineyard is being run by Brad. We tasted some 2016 and, from the barrel, some 2017. The place is in good hands, Peter is still taking an interest and the wine seemed rounder. We will go home with a couple of bottles each of their Bordeaux blend, tannat, and a superb blend of nebbiolo and barbero they call simply rosso.
