Eastern Peake Vineyards are set on a small plateau at Coghills Creek in the Ballarat Highlands, some 25 km from Ballarat. The dramatic backdrop of Mt Bolton, a rugged granite outcrop known as ‘Eastern Peake’, lies to the west of the vineyard, creating the stunning view seen from the property.
The Eastern Peake Vineyard was established in 1983, the first plantings being 8 acres of Pinot Noir, followed by 4 acres of Chardonnay in 1991. In 1994 the decision was made to establish a winery and cellar door facility at Coghills Creek. The winery was completed in time for the 1995 vintage.
Owen Latta is the second-generation vigneron steering these wines from great to greater each year, focused on growing the best fruit so he can make the best wines that reflect their vineyard!
