Bogong Estate - The Pinot People

Bogong Estate are the Pinot People. 25 acres of pinot noir - nothing else. We live it , breathe it and drink more than our fair share of it.

At Bogong Estate we love to share our passion for pinot noir and this beautiful vineyard setting. We offer the usual cellar door experiences such as wine tastings, french style platters, a glass or 2 of pinot under a shady tree and a not so vigorous game of petanque.

What we really enjoy is running our Pinot Program. We spend the day with you walking the vineyard, sampling the wine in progress and finally blending and bottling a couple of dozen of your unique blend of pinot noir. The Pinot Program is great for one or more couples and small groups. It can be tailored to suit. The Pinot Program makes a fantastic and unique gift for the wine tragic.

Indulge your winemaking fantasies without having to spend 2 million bucks and ten years!

Stuff for wine buffs:

The Tynan family produces a wide range of premium, handmade cool climate Pinot Noirs. The wines are all grown and made on site at Bogong Estate located high in the Kiewa Valley near Mt Beauty and the Falls Creek Ski Resort.

Our wine region, Alpine Valleys, has a strong continental climate and is a classic cool climate region. It is a lot like Beechworth only colder.  

Our pinots are hand-picked, crushed, and fermented in small open vats. We mainly use wild /natural yeast ferments. As a result we get full flavours and great character in the wine. To gently extract the essence of our cool climate pinot we hand plunge each batch many times daily and then softly basket press each batch. Our winemaking is labour intensive, gentle and we hope true to the traditions of Burgundy.
