The King Valley has emerged as one of Australia's most exciting new wine regions, embued with an Italian spirit that is reflected in the wines and food of the region.
Visiting the King Valley is like being transported to the Mediterranean. Here you can immerse yourself in a heritage that stretches back over 60 years, and all the way to the Italian Alps, the cool hillsides of Calabria and villages of Sicily. Meet the winemakers and their families face-to-face. Experience first hand the passion they share for life and their Australian-made, Italian varieties such as Prosecco, Nebbiolo, Sangiovese and Pinot Grigio. Be enraptured by the Italian spirit that permeates the valley's landscape, one eminently suited to the growing of cool, crisp white wines and savoury, spicy reds. Wines of a style that ‘prepare your mouth for food’, with a savoury tanginess to make your mouth water. This is the King Valley, Australia’s little Italy, where heritage and passion fuses with a landscape and climate that mimics the great regions of northern Italy.
