VISIT OUR WINERY

Home to a selection of boutique wines, Strange Bird varieties, and the Granite Belt’s oldest Tempranillo vines in the Severn River valley, Ridgemill Estate offers visitors a genuine winery experience – including luxury accommodation in our studio cabins.

Ridgemill’s Cellar Door

Our Cellar Door is open daily, with the opportunity to experience wine tastings, vineyard walks, tasting platters, guided tastings, and winemaker activities (availability dependent on the season). Check out our Seasonal Vineyard Activities for more details on what is available currently.

Our Studio Cabins provide self-contained luxury accommodation, all with views overlooking the vineyard. Stay a night, a week, or as long as you can. For catering, cabins include an kitchenette, and a guest BBQ and pizza oven area – conveniently located near your cabin to enjoy the views and fresh country air.  Gourmet hampers, BBQ and picnic packs are available to order in advance.

Grab a glass, and come and sip and swirl a luxurious Ridgemill wine. You won’t forget the experience.

Our Vineyard

Our 10-acre vineyard lies down a sleepy country lane in the beautiful Severn River Valley. It was first planted in the 1990s in a location that sits some 840 metres above sea level and enjoys an ideal climate for growing premium wine with a terroir similar to the Rioja region of northern Spain.

The vineyard’s neat rows of vines are orientated on a north-south axis to make the most of the sun’s rays; ripening the bunches of grapes slowly and evenly, producing distinctive, rich and flavoursome wines from the cool climate region of the Granite Belt.

Varietals under vine include Australian favourites such as Riesling, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec, and Shiraz. Adding to the hero varieties are some exceptional alternative varieties, including Tempranillo, Grenache, and our winemaker’s new love, Saperavi.
