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.
While we were initially
growing several grape varieties, a severe hail storm in November
2005 and a tornado in December 2006 changed all that. These storms
destroyed the crop and caused major damage to the vines. As a
result, we had to make the tough business decision to stop growing
grapes (for the time being at least.) We continue to purchase as
many varieties as possible from within our own area – Gin Gin,
Booyal and Mt Perry and supplement supply with parcels from the
South Burnett and Stanthorpe regions.
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!
