Tucked into the rolling hills of Dixons Creek, Corniola Wines is a family-owned boutique vineyard where tradition, passion, and place converge. Founded by Vince and Lucy Corniola in 2005, the estate is a heartfelt tribute to their Italian roots and lifelong love of wine. With a winemaking lineage that traces back to Vince’s grandfather Antonio, Corniola Wines brings generations of knowledge to every bottle.

The 10-acre vineyard, established in 2008, is planted on a north-facing slope that captures the best of the Yarra Valley’s cool-climate conditions. Low-yield vines and hand-harvested fruit form the foundation of Corniola’s small-batch wines, which are crafted onsite with a focus on purity, structure, and regional character. The portfolio includes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Rosé, and Italian varietals that nod to the family’s heritage.

The cellar door, open daily from 10:30am to 5:00pm, offers a warm, personal tasting experience in the estate’s barrel room. Guests are often welcomed by Vince himself, who shares stories of the vineyard’s journey and the philosophy behind each wine. With sweeping views of the surrounding landscape and a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere, Corniola is a hidden gem for those seeking authenticity and connection.

Beyond the wine, Corniola is a celebration of community and culture. The estate regularly hosts intimate events, tastings, and seasonal specials, inviting guests to slow down and savour the moment. Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or a curious newcomer, the experience is grounded in genuine hospitality and a deep respect for the land.

Corniola Wines is also available online and through select outlets, with special offers like 20% off on dozen purchases. Every bottle reflects the Corniolas’ dedication to quality, family, and the timeless joy of sharing good wine.
