A much-loved Rutherglen winery icon has been given a fresh new chapter with a purpose-built cellar door, tasting areas and alfresco seating.

Working closely alongside the builder, ECS carefully staged and delivered extensive soft landscaping works over several months, coordinating around construction progress and access to ensure the landscape evolved seamlessly with the build.

From the moment visitors turn into the property, the transformation is evident. A new 1.2km tree-lined avenue creates a welcoming arrival experience, while shade trees and layered planting frame the carpark and new buildings. Structured hedging discreetly screens service areas. With texture and seasonal interest being showcased by the colourful perennial and edible gardens throughout the grounds.

More than half an acre of turf was installed to form a generous event lawn purpose-designed to host festivals, weddings and gatherings in the heart of wine country.

The result is a landscape that feels established, inviting and perfectly aligned with the winery's identity enhancing the visitor experience while providing a flexible setting for year-round events.
