Condingup Vineyard & Winery

The building was near completion in 1995 and the planting began with both red and white varieties.

The first crop was harvested in 2001 and processed into wine which was bottled in 2005.

The wine grapes grown here are Shiraz, Touriga Nacional, Grenache, Chardonnay, Verdelho and Chenin Blanc, all high standard wine grapes.

Beside the winery is beginnings of the main house. So far the stone kitchen and ablutions areas have been built.

Jim and Chris have built up the vineyard and winery by spending every free hour and holidays working there. During the week, Chris is a school teacher at Condingup Primary School and Jim works on Epasco Farms, where grapes are have been part of the produce in years past.

The Creightons live on Epasco Farms and travel to the winery while their house is being built. They have raised 3 children who have all helped out at the vineyard during the construction and start up.

The vineyard is still developing vines and plants and even now that wine is in production, there is still a lot of development to do. It is hoped that in the future it will be an continuing source of employment for local people.

Mouse over the arrows below the gallery to see the harvesting procedure. The Vineyards also grow olives, calamondins and almond trees.

The Condingup Community is fully supportive of Jim and Chris as their vineyard will be a very picturesque venue for tourists and locals alike in the future. The perfect place for an outdoor wedding or wedding photo shoot.
