Like many wine lovers, husband and wife duo Adam and Jacky have spent years wandering through vineyards, dreaming of nurturing their own. In 2025 they were ready to take the leap.

A trained viticulturist, Adam holds fast to the belief that great wine begins in the vineyard. Founded in 1994 on the western edge of the Yarra Valley, Wedgetail Estate’s elevated, cool-climate vineyards are ideal for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Every bottle is crafted from estate-grown fruit, hand-tended to ensure only the finest bunches make the cut. In the rammed-earth winery, winemaking is deliberately low-intervention, letting each vintage express its place and season.

But Wedgetail is more than vines and barrels. Jacky has breathed new life into the cellar door, shaping a place where visitors can drop in for a tasting, linger over a glass and grazing platter, and unwind amidst the natural beauty of Nillumbik wine country.

Discover this charming estate, the premium wines, and the couple who have poured their hearts into it.
