Overview

Experience the diverse range of food and wine in the Orange region at Borrodell Vineyard. Renowned for its bountiful produce and stunning high-altitude vistas, Borrodell is the perfect base for exploring the surrounding area.

The property was purchased by Harold Borrodell Gartrell, affectionately known as Borry, in 1965. Borry grew up on the Borrodell farm and was committed to unlocking its full potential. In the 1990s, he replaced commercial apple crops with cold-climate wine grapes. However, apple lovers need not despair as the estate still boasts over 180 varieties of heritage apples, 230 varieties of heritage plums, and some of the oldest truffle trees on the mainland. In 2002, the family opened the accommodation options.

Visitors can choose between the Cider Suites and two cottages. The Cider Suites offer a modern, romantic retreat with a king-sized bedroom and a lounge area with views of the mountain valley. The two cottages, 'Chardonnay' and 'Truffles,' each feature three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an ensuite. While there you can admire the serene countryside from the fireplace or balcony while sipping a glass of vino. You can even indulge in bespoke pampering packages, including beauty treatments, helicopter joy flights, and horse-drawn carriage rides on the estate.

For those looking to dine out, Sister's Rock is Borrodell Vineyard's on-site restaurant. Boasting endless views of the Towac Valley slopes, Sister's Rock is the perfect spot for a memorable meal. Alternatively, guests can opt to have their dinner sent to their suite. For a tipple, head over to SkyBar, which combines a cellar door with a bar. Here, you can taste the vineyard's top drops and purchase a bottle or six. There is live music every Saturday during the summer months and Happy Hour every Friday from 4.30–6pm.
