When you visit one of the first established wineries in the Yarra Valley, the Fergusson family will ensure your tastebuds enjoy the experience. As pioneers of the Yarra Valley wine and food experience, Louise and Peter Fergusson feature an innovative country menu complimented by their by their Tartan and Fergusson Estate range.
The Fergusson Vineyard
The Fergusson vineyard was originally planted by the Fergusson family in 1968. The first commercial vintage was processed in 1973 and subsequent expansion saw the addition of the restaurant in 1975 and the wine sales facility opened in 1978.
The vineyard is planted to classic French grape varieties, including Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc for the white wines, and Pinot Noir, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties for the reds. Peter Fergusson took over the operation in 1982, and was joined by his wife Louise in 1985. Peter has worked in all aspects of the business, and was chief winemaker until 1989. He currently oversees the whole operation.
1996 highlighted the Fergusson's achievements by winning the Victorian Tourism award for best winery, and a certificate of merit for the restaurant. As well as the famous spit roast, the restaurant has introduced a selection of regional dishes prepared from the finest of Yarra Valley produce with premium Fergusson Yarra Valley wines to match. The restaurant features Australian eucalyptus furniture, cathedral ceilings, and viewing windows overlooking the picturesque vineyards.
The Fergussons Winery, look forward to welcoming your group.
