This secluded farm just outside Mudgee is not only a boutique vineyard but also a productive olive grove with two thousand olive trees. Add some sheep, cows, donkeys, goats, chooks, cats and dogs and finally two lovingly furnished accommodations to get a wholesome country experience where guests leave rejuvenated.
The timber homestead was built in 1978, with the first block of the Hillside vineyard established in 1983 and the olive grove being planted in 1996. A new chapter began when the current owners, Anna and Norbert, jumped in at the deep end in 2021 to realise their dream of running their own family business, naming it Grattai Grove in respect to the established locality. They were propelled into the steepest learning curve in their lives: becoming vignerons, tending to the olives, caring for the animals, fixing machinery and farm infrastructure, working their way to open the doors to the accommodations and eventually releasing their first two wines and extra virgin olive oils in 2023.
An important milestone of realising their vision was to plant several small blocks of vines from scratch to offer a wider range of hand-picked small-batch wines going forward. Grattai Grove invites you to join in on the journey as they grow their range of produce from their little slice of paradise.
