Priory Ridge Wines Priory Ridge Vineyard and Cellar door operation is ideally situated in the iconic Bay of Fires/St. H

Priory Ridge Estate, on Tasmania’s East Coast, produces small-batch wines in the Burgundian style. Grown on granite soil and handpicked, our grapes develop distinct character and mature in French oak. Only 3km from the centre of town or a 5-minute drive, and 10km from the Bay of Fires, on the East Coast of Tasmania. Priory Ridge Estate is a picturesque vineyard sprawling across 20 hectares of rolling hills. At Easter 2024, the Keath family became the new owners and as such, caretakers of Priory Ridge Estate. As a small family owned and run vineyard, we're committed to honouring its legacy while shaping its future through sustainable practices. The family have lived in Scamander for more than 40 years, so when the opportunity presented to take on this beautiful piece of East Coast land on the George River with established vineyard, bushland, and water ways, we jumped at it. Parents Bruce + Heather along with their children Roland, Grace and Bonnie are excited about the future of Priory Ridge for our growing families and looking forward to sharing it with you all. It’s been a wonderful journey so far sharing the property with the grandchildren, family and friends, and creating a passionate community of team members and like minded people who are working with us and showing us the ropes to make exceptional wine and a great visitor experience. Our cellar door is a rustic converted shearers shed with cosy wood fire. There’s plenty of outdoor seating and games to welcome the kids to run around, lots of parking suitable for large vehicles and caravans and we welcome dogs on leads to join you as you taste our wine. During the spring and summer seasons, Priory Ridge Estate offers wine tastings and cheese boards. We do not have a restaurant or a la carte menu, so unfortunately do not offer lunch although our platters are substantial. The Cellar door is open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from the 2nd of October 2026 until sometime after Easter2027.

We’re stoked to be on the line up at Black Cow Bistro in Launceston.

They were recently awarded Best W**e List Tas 2026 by the Australian W**e List of the Year Awards.
Congratulations you guys, thanks for having us on that list 👏👏❤️

Kids are very welcome at Priory Ridge. Whilst the main reason we do what we do is so the adults can drink w**e, there’s plenty of space for the kids to run around, feed the sheep and the chooks, they might even see Bruce out on the tractor or the digger. We’ve got a toy chest and highchairs for the really little ones, and also dogs on leads are also welcome.

So, bring the family and relax with a w**e and a cheese board.

When we say the cheese boards are famous, we’re not floating our own boat.

The veggie pickles are made by Heather with our own white w**e vinegar that we’ve made from our Seigerrebe w**e, quince paste is homemade with our quinces (or sometimes it’s grape paste when the grapes are ready) and the cheese is made in a paddock across the way by Bay of Fires Cheese , 13th generation cheese maker Ian Fowler. Oh, and the boards are all Tasmanian timber, hand crafted by Bruce.

When you do a w**e tasting with us, you get to hear all about our w**emaker Brian Franklin from Apsley Gorge Vineyard and how he goes to burgundy every year to bring us back French oak barrels and traditional French w**e making techniques.

We welcomed lots of lovely, happy guest to the vineyard for our first weekend of the season 👌  Although the weather was ...

We welcomed lots of lovely, happy guest to the vineyard for our first weekend of the season 👌
Although the weather was a bit glum, the fire was on, the chardie was cold and Heather’s famous cheese board were back!

When we started working with Walker Designs on our new concept for Sloop Rock W**es we asked them to capture the spirit and colours of the Bay of Fires.

It went through MANY iterations before we landed on this modern design (with a retro nod) which included the Mermaid Pool, the Sloop Rock granite outcrop and the striking colours of the Bay of Fires we all know and love.

Having this new label in the Priory Ridge Estate portfolio allows us to be a bit creative with our w**emaking (enter the very popular new rosè) as well as create a connection and story to our place, being only a few KM’s from the Bay of Fires. The unique BoF environment certainly does impart minerality and classic East Coast flavours into our w**e.

What do you think of the design??

When ever we visit our UK family, we always love to try out a few different vineyards. This trip included **eestate which is England’s first commercial vineyard. We particularly like their sparkling with a lovely long lunch and a wander around the stunning grounds. We’ve tried a few of the bubbles from southern England over the years and we like them a lot!🥂🫶
