Boat O Craigo Vineyards

Boat O Craigo is a prestigious second generation family owned boutique winery located within the heart of the Yarra Valley. Founded by Steve and Margaret Graham, the estate manages over 50 acres of vines across two distinct sites. Their Healesville vineyard offers a cooler climate, while the Kangaroo Ground location provides a warmer environment with unique volcanic basalt soils.

About Boat O Craigo

The Healesville site specialises in early ripening white varieties including Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, and Gruner Veltliner, alongside premium Pinot Noir. Conversely, the Kangaroo Ground vineyard is dedicated to robust reds such as Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Grenache. Boat O Craigo places a heavy emphasis on terroir and low yields, utilising hand harvesting techniques to ensure concentrated flavours and exceptional quality in every bottle.

The Healesville cellar door provides a stunning setting for wine tastings, offering sweeping views across the vines and the surrounding mountain ranges. Guests can also enjoy a selection of casual dining options including gourmet cheese and charcuterie boards or woodfired pizzas. This winery has received significant acclaim, notably being named James Halliday’s Dark Horse Winery of the Year in 2018 and maintaining a 5 Star Winery status.
