Willow Creek Location and History
Willow Creek Vineyard is located on Victoria’s breathtaking Mornington Peninsula. The property was first settled by cattle farmer, James McCormick in 1876. It was acquired in 1988 by the Ball, Knowles and Harris families. The vines that are planted on the property are amongst the oldest on the peninsula. They are spread across three undulating slopes on 12 hectares of land. Willow Creek have set out to craft outstanding wines that impart a special sense of place during the drinking experience.
