For wine lovers who have dreamed of turning their passion into something more, this established vineyard and winery in Victoria’s Pyrenees wine region presents a rare opportunity to embrace the lifestyle – and build on a business with plenty of potential.
Set among the rolling hills of Moonambel, the property has been home to a vineyard and winery since 1976. Today, it combines 50-year-old vines, a fully functioning winery, cellar door and restaurant with accommodation and a thoughtfully designed family home.
The property is located in the Pyrenees region, just a one-hour drive from Ballarat and from the Grampians.
An established Pyrenees vineyard and winery business with potential for expansion
At the heart of the property is a vineyard planted to 13 grape varieties. Shiraz and cabernet sauvignon take centre stage, joined by nebbiolo, sangiovese, malbec, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, semillon, riesling, pinot noir, cabernet franc, viognier and merlot. The diversity of plantings creates exciting opportunities for both varietal wines and blending, while the vineyard benefits from a complete drip irrigation system and three dams.
The property is currently operated as a hobby farm, with a winemaker producing the wines and the cellar door opening one weekend each month. However, recent increases in visitation and turnover point to significant scope for a new owner to expand the business.
The fully functioning winery, smartly designed cellar and restaurant, complete with north-facing decking overlooking the vineyard, provide an established foundation for an aspiring vigneron or experienced winemaker looking for their next venture.

Beyond the wine business, the property offers an architecturally designed four-bedroom home with north-facing views across the vines and surrounding hills. A beautifully renovated cottage, currently rated 4.97 on Airbnb with Superhost status, provides an additional income stream and further potential for tourism-focused buyers.
Practical features include extensive water storage, a comprehensive camera and security system and a 7.4kW solar panel system with a 10kW battery.

Located around an hour from Ballarat and the Grampians, the Pyrenees is a destination increasingly sought out for its cellar doors, food and wine experiences, hiking, cycling and birdwatching. With cool nights, dry conditions and plenty of sunshine, the region is also home to renowned producers including Taltarni, Dalwhinnie, Summerfield, Blue Pyrenees and Mount Avoca.
For those ready to make a move into Australian wine country, this is an opportunity to acquire not just a vineyard, but an established business and a distinctive Pyrenees lifestyle.
