We (Fi & Col Sheppard) are a small family owned winery established in 2004. After visiting the Barossa over many years, the decision to move here from Melbourne was made. Col was a builder but got the urge to take his passion of drinking wine to the next level by not just drinking it, but making it too. The Flaxman vineyard was planted out in 1929 with Shiraz, Riesling and Semillon and we also source small parcels of Grenache, Mataro and some Eden Valley Cabernet & Chardonnay to add to our wine portfolio. The vineyard is dry grown and handpicked each year by ourselves and friends who come in to lend a hand. Wines are now made onsite and during vintage, people can see the winemaking process happening first hand. 

The other passion Col has is cooking – in taking that passion to the next level, Col entered Masterchef in 2014 to put his skills to the test and made it through to the Top 10. We have now pooled all those passions together and opened our doors to share our food and wines with you.  Private lunches are on the 1st Saturday of Every Month and we usually put a theme to them.  We also welcome bookings for private functions - Contact us to enquire further. 

We hope you will join us with your friends and family to enjoy our beautiful piece of eden.
