eastern peake vineyard

An amazing winery on the doorstep of my family home - what a stunning surprise. Norm and Owen really know what they're doing: true respect for the terroir, and the wines are going from strength to strength - it's only a matter of time before they are recognised nationally. I hope that happens, but I have mixed feelings, because it's such a tranquil, unique part of the world. Lovely experience every time I visit - generous and knowledgeable. I'll be back on many occasions.

We met Norm who is a lovely man and who let us taste his lovely wines. A real character! It is a boutique winery so wines are priced $ for good reason. He gave my friend and I lots of recommendations to eat in Daylesford and Melbourne. He is a fountain of knowledge. Thank You!!

If you haven't been out to cellar-door then you haven't lived. Norm, Di and Owen will make your visit memorable with their passion and knowledge of the region. And well... Eastern Peake wines exude quality through and through. With an expanded tasting room the upcoming Long Lunch in March should be a fabulous event. I have enjoyed the WineMakers lunches in the past. Norm knows who to choose when chefs and wines need to be matched.

What a wonderful experience visiting Eastern Peake Vineyard was: the wines were all of exceptional quality - and the 2010 O.B. Pinot Noir vintage has to be amongst the best in the world! I also loved meeting Norm and his son Owen, who has inherited his father's knowledge and passion for wine-making. We were privileged to be offered a 'barrel tasting' - a peek view of the next exceptionally good vintage.

Beyobd the pretty Victorian town of Daylesford is this winery. We were directed to it by quite a few sources in the town. Whilst then in process of renovation we were highly entertained by winemaker Norman Latta who trotted out a number of thier wines and vintages for our selection, keeping us entertained all the while with stories of the winemaking experience and their very successful forays into some very select markets. The wines are mainly based on the grape varieties used in the Burgundy area of France (chardonnay & pinot noir) with one or two "foreigners" being introduced. Most of the wines we tasted were excellent, very refined with lots of body and flavour & we understand that most reds are wonderful for cellaring. Most definitely worth the visit.
