• Four Winds Vineyard - Enjoy a pizza lunch paired with wine tastings.

The Four Winds story began with a miner and his wife who resided on the property in a slab-hut. Her name was Scheherazade, inspired by the storytelling character in The Arabian Nights. Her favorite tale described a magic carpet carried by the four winds of good fortune. She named this small farm in Murrumbateman ‘Four Winds’ in hopes it would bring them prosperity. Four Winds planted their thirty-three-acre vineyard in 1998 and 1999 with five varieties: Shiraz, Riesling, Cabernet, Merlot, and Sangiovese.

• Jeir Creek Wines - We have worked diligently to create a new label that reflects both our origins and our future. The Royal Bluebell, now in gold, symbolizes Jeir Creek Wines’ rich history. As the floral emblem for the ACT, it also reinforces our strong connection to Canberra. The rest of the design is modern yet classic.

Tradition and history are as important to us as modernization and quality. We hope you agree that our new look embodies these values. You will continue to see some of our old labels on our older vintages until they are sold out.
