About Us

Tom Smith and family purchased the
Wombat Hill Vineyard in 1980 and, in 1990,
founded Tyagarah Estate Winery to produce
world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay
reflecting the character and terroir of the
Southern Highlands Region.

We produce fine cool climate Chardonnay
and Pinot Noir that have won many awards
throughout Australia. We believe that wine
making begins in the vineyard and we devote
many hours to ensure that our grapes are
the very best. No irrigation is used on the
property and we aim to minimize the use of chemicals.

Our 42-acre Wombat Hill Vineyard estate has long been recognized as a stellar vineyard in the region, and has superb qualities for growing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Once a source for some of the top Pinot Noir and Chardonnay producers in the region, today, the estate is the exclusive source for our Tyagarah Estate wines, as well as the foundation of our unique terroir. Balance, both in the vineyard and winemaking, governs our philosophy.

The Views from our Restaurant - Mountains, Ocean, Green Pastures, Black and White Dairy Cows and the Vineyard are reputed to be the best of any Winery in Australia. We welcome you to visit our winery and restaurant. Free tastings every day from 10am to 4 pm.
