About the Winery

Kooyong Winery, nestled in the heart of Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, is an iconic site in Australia famed for its exceptional wines. The winery is most renowned for its authentic and distinctive expression of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, which are cultivated from estate-grown, hand-pruned vines.

The magic behind Kooyong's award-winning wines lies in its unique terroir. The vineyards are carefully positioned on ancient, fertile soil composed of clay and loam—a perfect bed for vine cultivation. The cool maritime climate sweeps through the vineyard providing the ideal condition for the slow, gentle ripening of the fruits, a process key to the development of the wine’s nuanced flavours.

At Kooyong Winery, there's a palpable commitment to sustainable farming. Methods such as soil regeneration; pest control through natural predators, and reliance on rainfall and underground water for irrigation are testament to this eco-conscious approach.

Visitors to the estate are treated to a truly immersive experience. The tasting room, located in a sophisticated yet cosy area, invites guests to sample the winery's exquisite line of produce beneath the high, oak-lined ceilings. The scenic views over the vineyards from the floor-to-ceiling windows provides the perfect backdrop to this sensory expedition.
