Our Stallholders
Amherst Winery
Amherst Winery began in 1989 when Norman and Elizabeth Jones planted their first Shiraz vines in Victoria's stunning Pyrenees wine region, with their teenage son Luke by their side. What started with a bit of research has grown into one of the region's most respected small-batch producers.
Luke officially took over in 2009 and has been steering the ship ever since. With years of experience across wine, hospitality and sales, plus a Diploma in Oenology under his belt, he's expanded the range while staying true to what matters most: elegant, handcrafted wines that reflect place.
Handcrafted Pyrenees Wines
Every vintage is carefully managed through hand pruning, minimal irrigation and selective hand-picking to ensure only the best fruit reaches the bottle. As the climate has changed, Luke has adapted too, bringing harvests forward while remaining hands-on every step of the winemaking process.
Find them at our markets and discover the stories behind the wines as you sample their award-winning range.
