Founded in 1866, Best’s Great Western is a family-owned and -operated winery with some of the oldest and rarest vines in the world. Shiraz, cabernet and riesling are the winery’s specialties, but it also produces small parcel wines that are available for taste and purchase at both the cellar door and online. The pedigree of its historic vineyards allows the winemakers to create elegant, finely structured wines with great intensity and balance. Best’s Wines is a James Halliday 5-star rated winery and were awarded Best Value Winery in Australia in the 2021 wine companion.

Visitors can view the vineyard or sample its award-winning wines from the cellar door, which is housed in the original 1870s stables. Those curious about the history, or simply seeking adventure can join one of the friendly staff on a tour that runs on the first Saturday of every month. Hear about the Best family and their pioneering beginnings through to the fifth generation Thomson family. After the tour of their 1870s underground cellars, enjoy a tasting where you can savour some of their well known wines.
