Caring for your rights, now and forever
Our Story
At Paynes Rise Wines, we're passionate about creating an unforgettable experience for our visitors. Our 5-star winery, nestled in the heart of the Yarra Valley, is more than just a place to taste exceptional wines - it's a chance to immerse yourself in history, charm, and character.
Our History
Our story begins with the 1860's homestead, originally built by Seville's first settler, Thomas Payne. Today, our cellar door is incorporated into this historic property, allowing our visitors to wander through the original house and outbuildings. This unique setting provides the perfect backdrop for our boutique winery, where we specialize in producing small batch, varietal fruit-driven wines that showcase the complexity and uniqueness of our vineyard.
Our Wines
We're dedicated to crafting wines that are expressive of our upper Yarra cool climate. From our Pinot Gris to our 'Brody's Block' Pinot/Syrah, every wine in our range is carefully crafted to showcase the best of our vineyard. With a focus on quality over quantity, we're proud to offer a selection of premium wines that are sure to impress even the most discerning palate.
Visit Us
Whether you're a wine enthusiast, history buff, or simply looking for a unique experience, we invite you to visit us at our cellar door. Enjoy a leisurely lunch from our seasonal a la carte menu, sample our wines, and indulge in our eclectic mix of old and new. We're open Thursday to Sunday from 11am to 5pm, with our kitchen open from 11.30am. We can't wait to welcome you to Paynes Rise Wines.
