Our Story
After years of bumper broccoli crops, imported Sassafras local, Rob Nichols was easily convinced by his family to diversify and plant a somewhat different crop. A bottle of wine may have been involved…
Our first vines were planted in 2018 on a patch of otherwise unproductive land on the property tended by Rob and Sue Nichols. The vineyard sits atop a rocky outcrop looking across Eastford Creek and out at the prime fertile agricultural land of the North West Coast. Our wine has been hand crafted in small batches on-site by our award winning wine maker, whose high standards ensure you only get the best we have to offer. A love of the land and the history of our location is evident in the re imagining of the on-site Granary and Pumpkin Sheds into our cellar door and weddings and events spaces with a rustic feeling which connects us to the heritage and beauty of the landscape.
Construction of our cellar door is now complete and we are excited to finally welcome visitors to our vineyard and invite you to join us and become a part of our community of wine lovers.
Owners, Rob and Sue Nichols.
Rob and Sue are examples of how much can be achieved with an idea, some enthusiasm and a lot of hard work. Together with their team of fantastic people, the dream of a vineyard within walking distance and a forever stocked wine collection is coming together nicely.
Winemaker, Andrew Gaman.
Andrew moved to Tasmania from the Margaret River wine region with his family a number of years ago and well and truly has wine running through his veins. Growing up on his parents winery and studying viticulture, he has now become an award winning winemaker and wine judge. He is excited to be working with us at Eastford Creek Vineyard and together we get to experience and enjoy the full grape to bottle process.
Cellar door and events, Rachel and Nick Turner.
Apprentice, Leo Turner.
Rachel and Nick have always loved a good cellar door, so the idea of sharing long summer afternoons with our community and a glass or two of our own wine gives us all the warm fuzzy feelings, and that’s not just the wine talking! They are so excited to work with couples who choose to tie the knot at Eastford Creek Vineyard. and celebrate in our converted pumpkin shed.
