Dalwhinnie is located near the small village of Moonambel in the heart of the Pyrenees region of western Victoria and is a super-premium producer of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
At 595 metres above sea level, Dalwhinnie is the highest and most remote of the Pyrenees district vineyards. Surrounded and sheltered by the highest range, this unique bowl of vines is located in a naturally undulating trough that falls away from the hills, forming an amphitheatre nestled into the ranges.
Hailed by critics and wine lovers alike, Dalwhinnie has been growing grapes for nearly 50 years and is now a fully mature vineyard, producing ultra-premium wines that are distinctive, elegant and reflect the benefit of a dry-grown vineyard.
Wine maker Julian Langworthy is regarded as one of the most talented winemakers in Australia, with awards such as James Halliday’s Winemaker of the Year, a Jimmy Watson Trophy winner, Ray Jordan’s Winemaker of the Year, and a Wine Society Young Winemaker of the Year nominee.
Enjoy a glass of one of their delicious wines and cheeseboards whilst taking in the stunning views across the vineyard and to the classic Pyrenees backdrop.
This is also a dog friendly venue.
