Outlook Hill Vineyard is owned and operated by Peter and Lydia Snow and is located between the two wine touring highways - Maroondah and Melba that wind through Victoria's top wine region.  The slopes of Outlook Hill command panoramic views of the Yarra Valley wine country and surrounding hills in a perfect setting for all seasons to retreat and relax, be with friends, enjoy great food and wine.

In addition to the vineyard, the Snows have luxury boutique cottage accommodation and an acclaimed restaurant on the same vineyard slopes.  The family give a high priority to the production of ultra premium wines.  The show awards and media results to date they are particularly proud of successive year top 5 Australasian finalist wines in the National Winestate magazine's annual awards for their Chardonnay and Pinot Noir varieties.

There are serveral explanations for the continuing success of Outlook Hill as an important regional producer since establishment in 2000:-

  • The Snows planted out, live and work on the single vineyard property.
  • A low intervention, organic (as practicable) viticulture policy resulting in healthy soils, vines and wine for the table.
  • Ancient shallow soils with heavy clay subsoil providing a natural contribution to low vine vigour/yields and high fruit quality.
  • Single vineyard fruit, uncluttered focussed wines with individuality.
  • Emphasis on regional character/terroir expression in the wines: e.g. Cabernet  with a rich, chocolatey, concentration of fruit and tannins; Pinot Noir  with good layering of spice and earthiness and velvet texture; Chardonnay with a minerality and acid balance particular to the Yarra Valley.
