About the Winery
Situated in the Alpine Valley Wine Region, Feathertop Winery was established over 30 years ago.
Specialising in classic cool climate wine varieties with over 21 planted on the estate including Shiraz and Merlot, as well as alternate varietals including Savagnin, Sangiovese, Petit Verdot to name a few. Feathertop represents Mt Feathertop, which is the commanding feature in our Region, Alpine Valley.
The Mountain not only visually shelters our valley and influences the air currents, but it has defined the soil structure in which we grow our grapes, as well as, providing us the fresh Alpine spring water that flows and nourishes our vines. These environmental conditions are integral in the process of our wines, they form the rock that we stand on.
The 20-hectare vineyard boasts 19 different varieties: Prosecco, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Savagnin, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Chardonnay, Vermentino, Fiano, Friulano, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Dornfelder, Durif, Tempranillo, Shiraz, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Sangiovese and Nebbiolo.
Over the years Feathertop winery has evolved and changed and we are now so excited to be operating as a private estate.
Outdoor Spaces

Why not set up a picnic on the downstairs lawn, one of the many viewing points, pop open a bottle of our famous wine, grab some snacks and watch the sunset, a space also perfect for yoga amongst the vines.

“There are few words that can do justice to this incredible home and its incredible location encompassing expansive views of the vineyard below, and the enormous vista of Mount Buffalo on the opposite side of the valley. Expansive is exactly how I feel after spending time here, soaking up the beautiful weather, the night time skies and the ever present modern conveniences, pampering and indulgences that were ripe for the picking…
Family time in the pool and heated spa overlooking above mentioned views is unbeatable and will remain locked in memory as a highlight.
The sense of time and space around you here is palpable.
Cared for and generously supported through every aspect of our stay, the service and amenities provided were faultless and seamless.
There is so much on offer in the surrounding valley and towns, cruising the rail trail on bike gave a childlike sense of freedom as we rode along soaking up the stunning trees and gardens as buds were bursting with spring freshness. I could go on and on.
Highly, highly recommend. And then some!!”
“This home is sensational. I have stayed in many amazing homes over the years but this was next level. I cannot wait to stay again. I booked this for my staff end of year gathering and the minute we stepped foot on the property we felt like we were in another world.. or at least another country-maybe an Italian villa in the French countryside. My favourite part of the stay was the in-house massage, or maybe it was the movie night in the oversized sofas, or was it the night we had pizzas from the pizza oven while quaffing a fantastic riesling from the vineyard, no no it was the sunsets in the pool, wine in hand, admiring the phenomenal vista. I’m getting nostalgic even as I write this note. I can’t thank Priscilla enough, the perfect host, the perfect home on the perfect property.”
