About Us
Established in 1978, Oakridge is an iconic Yarra Valley pioneer and one of Australia’s most decorated cool-climate producers. Operating under the guiding philosophy of “Hand Picked, Hand Crafted,” our winemaking focuses on minimal intervention, texture, and uncompromising site transparency.
From the ancient sandy clay loams of Coldstream to the red volcanic slopes of the Upper Yarra, we craft wines that articulate distinct subregions down to individual blocks and single-row variations. Consistently recognised at the pinnacle of Australian wine, including multiple Winery of the Year honours and the 2025 Australian Wine of the Year, Oakridge delivers benchmark cool-climate winemaking backed by authentic, story-led cellar door service.
