Wineries

The team at Ripplebrook Winery are originally from the Aeolian Islands off the coast of Sicily. They produce premium wines from their dry-grown, organic, single vineyard.

They make Sparkling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Their cellar door, Giuseppe’s, is situated on their vineyard and showcases the breathtaking views of Mt Baw Baw. Named after their beautiful Nonno, Giuseppe’s re-creates the cosy, warm and loving care that Giuseppe gave to his garden and family, and they want to share that with you.

Ripplebrook Winery was created in loving memory of Giuseppe Raffaele – Catena’s father – who passed away in 2013. Giuspeppe came to Australia from Lipari in the Aeolian Islands off the coast of Sicily after marrying Angelina. Together, they raised and instilled his three daughters with Italian stories, traditions and delicacies.

Their wine and vineyard are crafted and cared for in the same loving way their father cared meticulously for his garden.

Catena Raffaele left her corporate career in 2009 and purchased 22 acres in West Gippsland. Inspired by her Italian heritage and love for exceptional wine, she opened Giuseppe’s cellar door in 2015 to share her warmth and hospitality.
