Munari Winery: A Legacy of Scottish Heritage

Munari Wines is nestled in the stunning foothills of the Mount Ida Mountain Range, just a short 7-minute drive from Heathcote. This historic site was originally established in 1871 as a hotel by a Scottish military family, covering an expansive 3200 acres that have since been divided into smaller parcels.

Wines Crafted for Every Taste

Today, Munari Wines spans 57 acres of the original estate and is proudly family-owned. Founded in 1993, the winery focuses on understanding the unique site, soil, and climate to cultivate grape varieties that thrive in these conditions. The winemakers at Munari believe in blending traditional techniques with modern innovations, allowing for creativity in producing high-quality wines.

Each wine reflects its own character, catering to diverse palates while ensuring great value. The goal is to create approachable wines that can be enjoyed by everyone.

A Diverse Selection of Award-Winning Wines

In just 25 years, this historic sheep station has transformed from offering a single Shiraz to an impressive portfolio of award-winning Australian wines. The collection includes Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, and the popular Schoolhouse Red blend. In 2005, the winemakers introduced the first Fortified Shiraz, Shiraz-Viognier, Rosé, and a Late Harvest wine, showcasing their commitment to innovation and quality.

Astounding wines, each variety we tried was so unique in flavour. I felt as though we’d come home to this rustic vineyard. The India Red Cab Sav was our favourite. We will be back as soon as we can. Thank you for your warm hospitality. Angie

Sadly, I did not get the name of the knowledgeable, passionate and lovely lady who took such great care of us today but wish I did! This unassuming winery boasts a great range of wines in their tasting that features the best Shiraz I have ever had. Their charcuterie board was absolutely delicious too. Didn’t try a pizza but they looked and smelled fantastic. Will definitely be back someday. Thank you 🙌🏻

We had the most beautiful afternoon enjoying a wine tasting and soaking up the summer breeze under the trees. The wines were some of the best Australian varieties I’ve tried, and the thin-based prosciutto pizza was absolutely delicious! Kay took such great care of us—her knowledge and passion for the wines made the experience even better. It’s the perfect spot to unwind with amazing food, wine, and atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back in winter to enjoy a cosy red by the fire!

We visited Munari winery for a hen do with 9 ladies, and it did not disappoint! The wines were delicious and we had a lovely outdoors table in a lovely setting. The staff were all super friendly and accommodating… we’ll be coming back! Thanks for having us!
