Red Hill Estate commenced producing some of the finest wines from the Mornington Peninsula in 1989, when it was established by the late Australian businessman Sir Derham, and his wife Lady Averil. As a pioneer of sparkling wine and with twenty-three acres under vine, Sir Peter Derham brought a clear vision of what he wanted to achieve under the brand. Red Hill Estate is now synonymous with the very best wines from Australia’s renowned cool climate regions.

Much to the delight of the local community, wine enthusiasts and visitors to the region alike, Red Hill Estate has now expanded and recently relocated to the celebrated Red Hill South cellar door. Expected to open its doors in September 2024, the exciting new home promises locals and visitors a year-round haven to share the moments that matter with those that they love. The spiritual restaurant on-site offers a range of warm, inviting spaces, perfect for sharing a memorable day. It is a place where generations to come can savour Red Hill Estate’s exquisite cool climate wines and indulge in delightful Italian food the way it’s intended – to share, while soaking in picturesque garden vistas.

Red Hill Estate has a vast portfolio of wines, with over thirty wines produced annually under label. The fruit for its flagship wine is sourced from the nearby Merricks Grove Vineyard, situated on the southeastern hills of the Mornington Peninsula. The vineyard was established in 1998 and has flourished into a mature, quality vineyard of high repute. The winery also works with renowned growers in Australia’s finest cool climate wine regions outside of the Mornington Peninsula, allowing it to source fruit for a range of other delicious wines.

The wines produced by Red Hill Estate exude regional character, finesse and classical style. The cool climate wines, such as pinot noir and chardonnay, are delightfully elegant and worthy of the Red Hill Estate label. With a curated selection of Mornington Peninsula produce and gift items to purchase on-site, Red Hill Estate is a must-see for anyone in the region. Drop in to the cellar door when it opens in September for a wine experience like no other.
