Balgownie Estate

Bendigo Cellar Door

Enjoy award-winning Balgownie wine right from the source, where our wine-making legacy first began back in 1969 with the planting of the first 5 acres of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon in Bendigo.

Balgownie Estate is a 5-star Halliday-rated Winery. Bendigo features a new Cellar Door, open-air deck, and a charming regional restaurant.

The property is home to 70 acres of vineyards and winery plus modern homestead, and glamping accommodation.

Winemaker Tony Winspear has been nurturing the Estate’s grapevines from bud to bottle since 1994, a hands-on winemaker, and very much at home in the cellar using traditional low intervention techniques.

Balgownie wines in our collection include:

  • Estate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from our Yarra Valley vineyards.
  • Estate Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz (first vintaged in 1972).
  • Sparkling varieties including Cuvee Brut, Shiraz, and limited-edition Macedon varieties.
  • Black Label favourites including Pinot Gris, Rose, Cabernet Merlot, Sangiovese, Nouveau Syrah and more.
  • Single Vineyard Shiraz wines from Balgownie Bendigo’s Centre, Railway and Rock Blocks.
  • Old Vine Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon from the original 1969 plantings.
  • A bespoke collection of museum wines from our most celebrated vintages.
  • And a small range of magnums.
