Our Wines
'Wine makes every meal an occasion, every table more elegant and every day more civilized' Andre Simon
Marong is around the centre of the Bendigo Wine Region which has a long history of producing high quality Rich Ripe Reds. The first vines were planted in the region in 1856 just after the start of the massive goldrushes which brought tens of thousands of hopeful diggers from all over the world to seek their fortunes.
They brought with them a lust for gold, but also the wine and food knowledge of Europe and it was only a few years before the judges at the 1873 Vienna Exhibition were heard to exclaim of Bendigo's early Hermitage that "No Colonial wine can be that good".
With over 20 Wineries in our Region we have selected a range of Bendigo Wines that we believe reflect the quality and diversity of our beautiful region. You will find a few from our nearby neighbors at Heathcote and a selection from wineries that we have come to know and respect over the years with a few internationals to keep it interesting.
Connor Park is our winery, we grow the grapes and make the wine on our property 10km from here and so of course you will find a good selection of our wines by the glass for your enjoyment
