When you follow our curated regional guides, you aren’t just scanning a wine list or picking a label; you are embarking on a journey into the heart of the landscape itself. To select a bottle of wine with the Sustainable Winegrowing Australia Trustmark is to choose a story of resilience, where every glass serves as a commitment to the longevity of the Australian bush, soil, and spirit.
This is where integrity meets the glass. By choosing wines and cellar doors audited for transparency, you are supporting a movement of grapegrowing and winemaking that prioritises the earth as its greatest asset. These are wines grown with a lighter footprint and crafted by pioneers who value the health of the planet as much as the complexity of the palate.
We believe the best way to protect our land is to experience it. We’ve done the homework and mapped the terrain so you can lose yourself in the adventure. Through our immersive travel itineraries and regional exploration tools, we’ve removed the guesswork from conscious consumption, leaving you free to focus on the tasting.
Let curiosity be your guide as you navigate the breathtaking frontier of Australian wine—one sustainable sip at a time.
Crafting wine with care for the land and our people.

South Australia is a very important wine producing state responsible for almost 50% of Australia’s annual production. It is also home to some of the most famous regions, historic estates and the oldest vines in the country. There is a multitude of different soil types and local mitigating influences such as altitude and cooling ocean breezes that allow for a wide range of wine styles and qualities. South Australia also has a diverse range of regions from the relatively warm temperate climate of the Barossa Valley; to the maritime precincts of McLaren Vale, the Fleurieu Peninsula's Currency Creek, Langhorne Creek and Southern Fleurieu; the cooler Adelaide Hills region and the hot climate of the Riverland region on the Murray River.
Victoria is the second smallest state but is home to more regions and individual wineries than any other state in Australia. It also has the greatest diversity of regional and site climates, which allows for the production of virtually every imaginable wine style from fine sparkling wine, high quality Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, age-worthy Cabernet, savoury Shiraz and the historic fortified wines of Rutherglen.
The pristine island state of Tasmania is situated off the southern coast of Australia in the cool waters of the Southern Ocean. This ocean influence means that the climate is decidedly cool with appropriate comparisons to Champagne in terms of overall growing season temperatures.
The first commercial vineyards were planted in Tasmania in 1865. A decade later the industry collapsed largely due to the gold rush on the mainland. A resurgence of interest started in again the late 1970s. Tasmania is a diverse wine region, from the Pipers River and Tamar Valley areas in the north to the Coal River, Derwent Valley and Huon/Channel districts in the south.
Queensland has a wine history dating back over 150 years – and like all good wines it has developed with age. Vines were first planted at Roma and in the Granite Belt region in the 1860s and today Queensland regions are producing world-class wines thanks to a slew of dedicated producers. Queensland has two recognised GIs with the Granite Belt and South Burnett regions but as wine tourism gathers momentum, the burgeoning industry has seen more trail blazers emerge and cellar doors open.
Every Australian wine region whispers a different secret of the earth, and we’ve mapped the trails so you can hear them all. Whether you’re trekking through the water-wise innovations of McLaren Vale or uncovering the soil-health mysteries of the Coal River Valley, our regional guides offer a Sustainability Snapshot—a window into the soul of the land before you even set foot on the soil.
This exploration is, at its heart, a human one. Our pages bring you face-to-face with the Guardians of the Vines, the visionary growers and winemakers who stand at the front lines of the landscape. They aren’t just producers; they are the stewards of the story you are about to taste.
Good for the land. Great in the glass
