Overview

Kel Boynton established his vineyard in 1988 with a belief in that the Alpine Valleys provided the ideal terroir and climate to experiment and grow a variety of different grapes.

An overgrown horse paddock was the site Kel selected for the future Featherop winery, vineyards and cellar door. Kel identified its potential for both growing grapes but also hosting visiting tourists - a place where people could develop an appreciation for the elegance of hand crafted cool climate wines, in a relaxed and unpretentious environment. The site overlooks the majestic alpine peaks of Mt Buffalo, surrounded by native forests, rolling hills and is located on the Murray To Mountains Rail Trail.

The winery’s cellar door opened in 1989. It was the first winery in the Alpine Valleys.
