Austins Wines Winery

During the early 1980’s, Pam and Richard Austin planted their first vines around the Barrabool Hills area, just west of Geelong, at what was originally Waurn Ponds vineyard which was followed up with the purchase of a larger property at Sutherlands Creek in the 1990’s. At around 90 acres Austin’s wines is the largest, family-owned planting of Pinot Noir, Australia-wide.
