Bruny Island Premium Wines, Cellar Door and Restaurant is situated on Bruny Island in Tasmania’s South. Carved from bush and pasture land on the outskirts of the settlement of Lunawanna, is Australia’s southernmost vineyard. Owned and operated by a direct descendent of one of Bruny Island’s first settlers, Bernice Dillon.

Bruny Island Premium Wines is open for all day lunch, seven days a week all year round and Saturday nights during daylight savings, in a relaxed alfresco dining area overlooking the vineyard. An extensive menu specialising in local produce, all perfectly matched with their premium cool climate wines.

The vineyard, established in 1998, is set on a gently-sloping site with a sunny north-westerly aspect. In an ideal season, Tasmania’s calm, clear autumn days are perfect for the slow fruit-ripening conditions needed to create premium cool-climate wines. Their wines are grown, made and bottled by hand on site.

The Cellar Door opened in 2005, constructed with timber from the original vineyard site, and offers tastings and sales.
