Our grapes are lovingly estate grown in the rich, ancient and fertile volcanic soil of our vineyard and hand-picked annually. Our expert local Bellarine winemaker then performs the art of crafting our glorious small-batch wines.

HOTV is a brand built out of love - a love for our gorgeous property, our sweet animals, and, of course, our love for delicious food and drink.

It is a passion project that has been over a year in the making, and we are so close to opening! We cannot wait to share it with all of you.
