The essence of family and community spirit emanates throughout Delatite Winery, extending right back to its rich heritage. Vivienne and Robert Ritchie planted the first vines in 1968 and in 1982 Vivienne took on the marketing and selling, Robert and their son David worked the vineyard and they employed their daughter Ros as the winemaker. Now, the beautiful rural winery has been run by David since 2005.

The family-owned winery has been growing grapes using biodynamic principles since 2005. In 2011, Delatite Winery started to make its wines more naturally and now the vineyard creates all its wines with minimal intervention.

Located at the base of the picturesque Mount Buller, offering panoramic views of the Victorian countryside, the stunning vineyard produces thirty-one wines over its incredible seventy-acre site. David and winemaker Andy Browning continue to develop the most delicious wines and to create wines with great structure and complexity, aging extremely well.

Delatite Winery’s new cellar door and dining room opened in 2021 and was beautifully designed by Lucy Clemenger Architects. The new building takes advantage of the stunning views over Mount Buller and the Alpine Range. Here, guests can indulge in the estate grown wines and be guided through them by one of the vineyard’s informative cellar door team.

The winery’s beautiful restaurant priorities locally sourced food and focuses on using a seasonal menu. After indulging in the vineyard’s delicious natural wines, guests are invited to enjoy the shared platters offered by the restaurant.

During summer, Delatite Winery offers afternoon estate picnics, where visitors are welcomed to a basketful of fabulous food and a tantalising wine tasting experience. Relax against the backdrop of the beautiful Victorian High Country at one of four of the vineyard’s picnic sites. Enjoy the day picnicking, sampling various wines and basking in the glorious grounds of Delatite Winery.
