Premium Wine Tasting & Vineyard Experience in Arthurs Creek
Established in 1982, Shaws Road Winery is a family-owned business with three vineyards in the Yarra Valley. Our commitment to crafting premium wines from hand-picked grapes has defined our legacy for over four decades. We combine traditional winemaking techniques with modern innovation, aging our wines in premium oak barrels to ensure complexity and depth. Our vineyards, located on the northern slopes of the Yarra Valley, benefit from a cool climate ideal for producing Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sparkling wines. With a focus on sustainability and quality, we handcraft each batch to reflect the unique terroir of our region. Our team of experienced winemakers, including George Apted Snr, John Graves, and Karl Helper, has been producing award-winning vintages since 1990.Visitors can enjoy wine tastings, dine at our on-site restaurant with panoramic views, or stay in our luxury B & B accommodations. We prioritize direct engagement with our customers, offering cellar door experiences and quarterly wine club shipments. Our philosophy centers on releasing wines only after sufficient bottle development to ensure they showcase their full potential. From vine to bottle, every step of our process reflects our dedication to excellence and passion for winemaking.

I'm NOT supporting a business who partakes in segregation and medical apartheid, regardless of people's jabbed status. This is a choice this business is making. It has nothing to do with one's health.
