Deakin Estate's vineyards are located in the Big Rivers region, where the mighty rivers weave across the land, bringing life to the region and to our vines

The original Deakin Estate property and its wines were named in honour of that visionary, Alfred Deakin.

Purchased in 1967, Deakin Estate was planted to premium wine grapes which were sold as fruit until 1980 when a winery facility was built. By the time the Deakin Estate range was launched in 1994 some vines had achieved considerable age, whilst newer vines were being planted. Efforts have been focused on producing fruit of the highest quality and expressive wines brimming with flavour and varietal character.  

The Deakin Estate portfolio entered a new chapter in 2020, with Australian winery, Calabria Family Wines purchasing the brands and production, paving a new and exciting future for the Deakin Estate and Artisan Blend brands.
