Basalt Wines offers a relaxed yet refined vineyard experience along the iconic Great Ocean Road. Nestled between Port Fairy and Warrnambool, the vineyard is surrounded by sweeping views of volcanic hills and ocean horizons. Visitors are invited to slow down, savour the scenery, and enjoy exceptional wine and food in a setting shaped by nature.
The vineyard was established by Shane Clancey, whose journey from auto technician to winemaker began with an idea to combine his love for farming, wine, and great hospitality. His hands-on approach and respect for the land have created a place where craftsmanship and community meet.
Planted in rich volcanic soil near the historic Tower Hill Reserve, the vines thrive in cool coastal breezes, producing premium cold-climate varieties including pinot noir, riesling and tempranillo. Each bottle reflects the character of the land and the story of its maker.
At the heart of Basalt Wines is a welcoming cellar door and restaurant. The space, built by hand using local basalt stone, blends rustic charm with thoughtful detail. Guests can enjoy Mediterranean-inspired dishes featuring local produce, paired perfectly with handcrafted wines. For those seeking an extended escape, boutique vineyard villas offer an immersive stay among the vines, where comfort meets authenticity in the heart of wine country.
