Our cellar door was the original homestead on the property “Strathaven” which was built by Hugh and Hilder Woods in 1923. They had a family of 12 that they raised in the cottage. They had a mixed farming business, poultry, sheep, dairy farm and pigs.
Tangaratta Vineyards Pty Ltd – purchased the property “Strathaven” specifically for the purpose of establishing a vineyard.
Tangaratta Vineyards Pty Ltd draws its name from the Tangaratta Creek, a tributary of the Peel River, adjacent to where the property is located. The limestone hills north of Tamworth, and the volcanic hills south of Tamworth, overlook the property.
Over the past few years, renewed interest has surfaced in the rich Peel Valley area surrounding Tamworth City. Suitable water, soils and climate have focused this interest as well as the proximity to a major inland city with thriving service, industry, commercial and professional sectors and as an ever increasing tourism sector. The gently sloping red brown soils that surround the city are suitable for the establishment of a major new vineyard province. |
