Rocky Passes Estate

Unique quality wines

Rocky Passes Estate is a micro, cool-climate vineyard and winery.  The cellar door was inspired by the cosy simplicity of the cantinas of Argentina and serves the delicious food of the tascas (tapas bars) in Spain.  It is also the home of Vitto Oles’ furniture-making studio. 

Located at the southern end of the Strathbogies, in the Upper Goulburn winegrowing region of Victoria, Rocky Passes is a popular local tourist attraction.

Viticulture

Rocky Passes is a tiny, cool climate vineyard specialising in northern Rhône varieties: Syrah (Shiraz) and Viognier. It sits at the southern end of Victoria’s Strathbogie Ranges in the Upper Goulburn winegrowing region.

The border between the Upper Goulburn and Goulburn Valley regions passes through our property, and the border of the Strathbogie region is about 100 metres away, just over the road!  We are in a very unique position and often refer to our property as the corner block!
