About Us

Childers is part of the North Burnett, the newest wine-producing area in Queensland and we are excited to be at the forefront of this new industry.

Terry's interest in wine comes from a proud Sicilian heritage.  His maternal grandparents, Umberto and Maria Gelsomino were migrants to the Isis district from the Catania region of Sicily in the early 1900's.  Food, cooking and the enjoyment of wine as a natural accompaniment to food and family occasions have been part and parcel of family tradition.

Our small vineyard is planted with Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay and  Muscat and we supplement our needs with handpicked grapes from other local vineyards as well as from the South Burnett.

All our wines are produced here on site at the winery, from crushing through to fermenting , racking, filtering, aging, bottling, labelling ... this means we have total control over our product and know exactly what goes into it and, just as importantly, what does not!

We are thrilled with the response to our traditional, additive-free product and feel very chuffed when cellar door visitors say "wow! The smell....the perfume!"

What we have to offer is a very personal, 'grape to glass' experience, and a chance to talk to the winemakers.  Conversations invariably involve talking about what food goes with what wine and the cellar door sees lots of mutual swapping of recipes.   Judging by the laughter emanating from the cellar door, guests are participating in what we aim at - a fun experience and what's more, tastings are FREE!
    

Come and see for yourself ... You will always be assured of a warm welcome!  If making a special trip, we suggest you give us a quick call toll free 1800 81 60 20 to ensure we are open.

And Yes!....we do Cheese platters and lunches for groups by prior arrangement.  See our 'What Else?' website page.     Phone and discuss with Mary - 1800 81 60 20
