Acclaimed Victorian winery and restaurant Cannibal Creek Vineyard for sale
A renowned vineyard in West Gippsland, just an hour south-east of Melbourne, has hit the market with a range of possibilities for expanded operations.
Cannibal Creek Vineyard includes an award-winning cellar door and restaurant, a fully equipped winery among its commercial operations, plus a renovated three-bedroom home with a pool for on-site residence.
Spanning 27.9 hectares, 260 Tynong North Road is set in a picturesque location on the city’s south-eastern fringe, surrounded by its namesake Cannibal Creek, Mount Cannibal and Bunyip State Park.
The vast property includes approximately 4.3 hectares of established vineyard, comprising 60 per cent chardonnay and pinot grapes.
Listed by Facey Property and Castran Real Estate, Cannibal Creek Vineyard is offered as an established multi-faceted business with a “large and loyal customer base” and plenty of potential.
Among the suggested possibilities, subject to council permission, are expanding the size of the vineyard and winery operations, and/or the restaurant and cellar door, as well as extending the opening hours.
There is also the idea of building accommodation on the vast site and capitalising on its scale and scenery to become a premier destination for weddings and events.
The winery has a 40-tonne capacity for dry goods and wine storage, and the restaurant has a full commercial kitchen and 80-seat capacity.
The commercial opportunity can be taken with a “hands-on approach” – managing the vineyard contract – or as an investment that can be leased or outsourced.
“This unique lifestyle property provides the opportunity to be creative, social and active in a beautiful environment,” said Facey Property partner Matt Rice.
“You can do as little or as much as you choose with options to contract out the winery operation or lease out the restaurant, if running and growing the operation is not your preference.”
The beautifully presented period-style residence includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, generously sized living areas and a luxurious outdoor entertaining area with a deck and pool.
Tynong North is on the edge of West Gippsland in the Port Phillip wine region, which is in easy day-trip distance for Melburnians and visitors to Victoria.
Cannibal Creek Vineyard has operated since the mid-1990s and is well-established as a wine and dining destination.
