Calling all Italian Cousins!!!
The itinerary for our visit to Italy is being finalised this week. We will be leaving on October 7 for the adventure of a lifetime....you will never see Italy like this with any other tour!!
Please check the Italian Cousins page for more details.
Landline has been in Ballandean again and you can see the story this Sunday. Check out international wine writer Sarah Ahmed and her adventures in the Granite Belt.
Mary's gnocchi might even get a mention.
We did it!! We have released the first wine from the 2012 vintage the gorgeous White Pearl. With only 5 weeks to prepare it in time for the Apple & Grape Festival, the winemaking team did a great job and we released it at the park with an overwhelming reception. We think it might be out best ever!!
Well, it's busy in the winery at the moment with preparations being made to bring in the 2012 Harvest. If you are interested in learning how it is all done, why not book in for a winery tour...we tour the winery daily.

Dec 2 2011: We have suffered a devastating fire this morning.
Everyone is Safe.
The winery, cellar door & cafe are safe and open for business. Wine stocks in our winery building were unaffected but our wine warehouse was devastated.
At 3.30am, this morning the alarm was raised by a neighbour that a fire had erupted in the wine cellar, situated approx 100m away from the winery, cellar door and restaurant.
By the time fire crews arrived the blaze was well alight in the cellar and crews kept the fire from other winery buildings.
“ It’s a huge disappointment for the family and all of our team here at Ballandean” say Leeanne Puglisi-Gangemi “We had many of our special vintage and iconic wines in the cellar and we won’t get them back but, our family is very resilient and we have experienced losses before and we will be fine”.
With vintage only 8 weeks away and the vineyard looking great, Ballandean will be in full production soon. In the meantime, the cellar door and café will continue to operate as usual and we look forward to welcoming guests to our cellar door.
