In the heart of the Oaklands Valley lies Melbourne's closest winery - Wildwood. There are probably few wineries in the world which can claim to have a large metropolis virtually on their boundary. Located just 4 km north of the Melbourne Airport, off the Tullamarine Freeway, the vineyard stands at an elevation of 132m, allowing for panoramic views of Port Phillip Bay and the Melbourne skyline.

Wildwood Vineyards experience a frost-free, cool, maritime climate.  Lying in the rain shadow of Mount Macedon, the vineyard is treated to dry, sunny Autumn days, which allows for maximum development of fruit flavours at vintage.  The Wildwood philosophy is simple - to produce the highest quality table wines from the outstanding fruit grown on the estate.

History records that great wines were made in this area last century.  Viticulture was re-established at Wildwood in 1983 by the Stott family.  Wine styles grown on the estate include Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Shiraz, Petit Verdot, Chardonnay and Viognier.  Extensive use of the highest quality French oak compliment the fruit flavours, but never dominate the inherent fruit-fullness of the wine itself.

Wines are available from the cellar door daily, between 10am and 6pm.  Our location, clearly signposted, just 4km north from Melbourne Airport off Sunbury Road.   Melway Ref. 384 F11.

Our wines can also be purchased from Dan Murphy's stores in Melbourne, leading boutique bottle shops, and tasted in many of Melbourne's finest restaurants.
