As part of the Macedon Ranges Autumn Festival, we invite you to join us on Friday, April 25th, for a special Fancy Friday event as we raise a glass to celebrate Granite Hills Winery’s 50th vintage!
Nestled amidst the rugged beauty of the Macedon Ranges, Granite Hills Vineyard stands as a testament to the art of cool-climate winemaking. For over fifty years, this family-owned estate has been crafting exceptional wines that capture the spirit of its unique terroir.
The story of Granite Hills is one of resilience, vision, and passion. In the late 1960s, Gordon Knight, a fourth-generation grazier, took a bold leap of faith, transforming a portion of his farmland into a vineyard amidst the challenges of declining sheep farming.
Today, this legacy flourishes under the care of Gordon's son, Llew, his wife Andrea and their dedicated team who ensure Granite Hills remains a symbol of quality and authenticity, cherished by wine enthusiasts in the Macedon Ranges region and beyond.
To mark the celebration, Chef Tim Austin has curated a mouth watering 5-course Italian inspired feast, the perfect pairing for Granite Hills’ exceptional wines and a great way to embrace Autumn in the Macedon Ranges.
This special offering is available for both lunch and dinner bookings.
Tickets are $80 per person, with the option to enjoy additional wine pairings or beverages on a consumption basis during the event.
