They produce handcrafted, small-batch wines that reflect the character of Beechworth.
From studying Oenology and Viticulture at Charles Sturt University to hand-planting their low-yielding vineyard, every step has been personal. Vinny and Sharon manage the vineyard themselves, hand-weeding, mulching and nurturing the vines before harvesting with family and friends. In the cellar, they follow Old World principles, favouring wild ferments, minimal intervention and slow ageing underground.
The result is a range of premium Beechworth wines made with care, patience and a strong sense of place. For those seeking boutique Australian wines, Baarmutha offers a genuine alternative to mass-produced wine.
Housed in a beautifully restored Goldfields-era building, the cellar door blends rustic charm with modern comfort. Tastings are relaxed and welcoming, often hosted by Vinny and Sharon themselves. Visitors can explore current releases, taste wines from the underground barrel cellar and hear the stories behind their development. Add homemade salami and you have a distinctly local Beechworth wine experience that goes beyond the glass.
Whether you're planning a cellar-door visit, exploring handcrafted wines from Victoria's High Country or looking to buy Baarmutha Wines online, you will discover wines shaped by the people, place and passion behind them.
