Are You Game
Fowles is nestled in the heart of the Strathbogie Ranges, a landscape marked by ancient granite boulders and steeped in rich stories. We farm, hunt, prepare, and share, inviting everyone on a culinary adventure that connects them to the very source of flavour. Respecting our land with generations of knowledge, we are driven by a passion for improving farming practices, creating a sustainable future. With a thirst for discovery and the unknown, Fowles champions the adventurous spirit, those curious enough to take the path less travelled.
Fowles combines world-class wine and food experiences with a deep connection to place, creating unforgettable moments for friends and family. From the gold rush in the 1800s to the vibrant blossoms of spring today, our hardworking team continues to innovate, making Fowles one of Australia’s leading cool-climate wine producers and one of Victoria’s most welcoming farm, food, and wine destinations. We capture all of this in every bottle, and it’s in every bottle that you’ll discover the unexpected.
