Bruny Island Premium Wines, Family winery in Lunawanna, Tasmania.
Bruny Island Premium Wines is a winery on cultivated land in Lunawanna with rows of grapevines spreading across the property and views extending toward the Tasmanian coastline. The site includes a cellar door and restaurant where visitors can taste wines directly and enjoy locally sourced food.
The vineyard was founded in 1998 when Bernice Dillon and her father planted the first grapevines on Bruny Island. The operation grew from this original family initiative over the following decades.
The restaurant showcases Tasmanian produce paired with wine, prepared by a father-son cooking team that brings international culinary training to the island setting.
The winery is open seven days a week starting at 11 AM, with the restaurant offering evening service on Saturday nights only. The best time to visit is during the day so you can explore the gardens and surrounding grounds.
The site holds the distinction of being Australia's southernmost wine producer, benefiting from Tasmania's extended autumn season for grape ripening. The location allows for a lengthened growing period rarely found elsewhere on the continent.
