Charlie Scalzi's journey in the wine industry began at just six years old, when his grandfather invited him to crush grapes in large wooden vats using his clean feet. This early experience sparked a lifelong passion for winemaking.
Charlie's grandfather was a dedicated farmer who grew grapes and crafted wine for the local community. However, when Charlie was 11, his family moved to Adelaide, and his grandfather's winemaking came to an end. Charlie's father continued the tradition in their home cellar, where Charlie helped handpick grapes and make wine. He learned the importance of hygiene in winemaking, recalling how his father would burn a sulfur ring in barrels before filling them with wine.
In 1998, Charlie established God’s Hill Winery, planting 25 acres of vines in Lyndoch, Barossa Valley. This marked the beginning of the God’s Hill label. By 2001, the winery produced its first vintage, creating two barrels for family and friends. The following year, the vineyard expanded to 30 acres, and the vintage was made available to the public.
God’s Hill Winery features a diverse range of varietals, including Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Aglianico, Pinot Grigio, Moscato, Riesling, Prosecco, and Chardonnay. Each grape is handpicked to create exceptional red, white, rosé, sparkling, and fortified wines.
The mission of God’s Hill Winery is to preserve family traditions by producing small batches of boutique wines with passion and care.

Date day lunch with my husband. The food was authentic Italian 🇮🇹 and so yummy. We tasted 7 wines between us and each was so smooth and apparently with few preservatives which means no headaches:) We have joined their wine club as we enjoyed the experience and will return. Charlie & Neylen were so welcoming.

Such a beautiful place with amazing views! Charlie was very accommodating as I called in advance and the chef was away so he organised a home made quiche made by his lovely wife Ennia. We also had the barrata that was served with amazing prosciutto and the potato wrapped prawns were absolutely delicious! We were a group of 11 and Charlie and Rhylan made us feel so welcome and gave us the best experience, going above and beyond in every way. They are beautiful people and I could not have asked for a better way to finish a hens day for my friend. Will definitely be back!
