Victoria - Ballarat
This exciting and thriving food and wine region is centered on the regional city of Ballarat. A fascinating local culinary experience is set against the stunning historic streetscapes.
Ballarat, whose wineries are especially well-known for their Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, is a region that has remained resilient despite being associated with the Gold Rush era of Victorian history. Even though Ballarat is steeped in history and has impressive architecture as a backdrop, the region's wine and restaurant scene is definitely modern, making it a popular destination for foodies and wine enthusiasts. It is now a popular home destination.
THE CLIMATE
With average maximum temperatures of 25º or lower during this crucial ripening period, Ballarat's climate provides a mild and prolonged ripening period. In fact, because Ballarat is so cool, we harvest our grapes in March and April, which is a long time after some regions have finished fermenting their wines.
THE SOIL
Our wine's variety is also enhanced by the variety of limestone, granite, and volcanic soil found in areas like the Pyrenees, Ballarat, and Grampians.
