The Vineyard

Great Western has a rich history of wine making in Australia, dating back to the 1860’s with Best’s Wines and Seppelt Wines. Great Western is also home to Grampians Estate and the Great Western Hotel which stocks the largest wine list in the region including Miners Ridge and other small local producers Kimbara, Fratin Brothers, The Story Wines and Clarnette and they’re all available by the glass. 

Our sister wine label Black and Ginger Wines opened a cellar door, The Wine Shed in Pomonal in April 2025 and there Hadyn & Lucy offer wine tastings, wines by the glass and bottles to take away. Lunch is available from Barney's just next door! The wine shed is open Thursday to Sunday 12-6pm. 

Our property is 230 acres with a certified organic vineyard comprising a total of 30 acres, 50% Shiraz and 50% Merlot. Since 2016, We have worked hard to improve the quality of the Shiraz grapes which are now producing high quality fruit. Over the next few years we plan to remove some of the Merlot to plant different varieties to support our sister wine label Black & Ginger Wines.

Please get in touch if you are interested in purchasing Certified Organic Shiraz from Hounds Run Vineyard.
