Grape orders are now open for the coming 2025 Vintage. Orders have been coming in steadily. We have a good crop, but don't leave your order too late as we will prioritise early orders over late orders.

The crop is looking very good, with the berries filling well and the canopy in great shape to ripen the crop. The berries are still green, but I expect that we will start to see some colour in the next few weeks. Once Veraison is complete, we will get a better idea on when harvest will start. I expect that to be at the start of March, but there is some speculation of an earlier start due to the pretty constant warm weather.

PRICING:  Price $2.80/kg picked and packed (see order form).

Update on Deliveries

We are pleased to report that we are again offering home delivery to metropolitan Melbourne. The President's knees are no younger, but we have found a younger driver!
Delivery to Metro Melbourne is 10% of the cost of your grape order.
Minimum order for delivery is 200kg. Orders for less than 200kg will be to an agreed meeting point.

Interstate Deliveries.  Minimum order 500kg. We can deliver interstate to depots in Sydney and Brisbane. Delivery cost is 20% of the cost of your grape order. We can do smaller orders but the transport costs will be proportionally higher as I have to pay for a pallet space regardless of the order.

Save 15 % by picking your own!  You can of course pick the grapes yourself and take them home fresh from the vineyard.
If you haven’t already tried this it can be a fun day for the family and friends, but try to bring enough people to pick your grapes in about 2 hours. (Most people can pick about 50kg in 1 hour.)
