Welcome to Bruny Island Premium Wines, a name that's become synonymous with exceptional wine quality and a true-blue experience reflective of what makes Tasmania so special. Nestled in Lunawanna, a serene settlement on Bruny Island, we proudly bear the title of Australia's southernmost vineyard, a geographic marker that’s more than just a point on the map—it’s a testament to the spirit of adventure and commitment to craftsmanship that permeates all aspects of our business.
We are more than just a vineyard; we're the embodiment of a rich narrative spun from a lineage deeply ingrained in the soil of Bruny Island Premium Wines. Our founder, Bernice Dillon, is not merely an entrepreneur but a living chronicle, a direct descendant of the island's pioneers. This generational passage has imbued in us a sense of continuity, tradition, and an unyielding connection to the place we call home. It was Bernice, together with her father, who channelled this heritage into horticulture, planting the first grapevines back in 1998.
