Tucked among the lush greenery of Tamborine Mountain, Witches Falls Winery is where nature, innovation and craftsmanship come together to create something truly special. Now, that experience can be savoured at Queensland Parliament House.
A vision shaped by passion
Witches Falls Winery was founded in 2003 with a clear purpose to craft wines that people genuinely enjoy. Behind this vision is winemaker Jon Heslop, whose journey into winemaking spans continents and decades.
From early travels through Europe to hands-on experience in the Barossa Valley, Hunter Valley, Burgundy and Napa Valley, Jon developed a deep respect for both traditional techniques and new ideas. His focus has always been on creating wines with personality that reflect both the land and the winemaking process.
That vision found its home on Tamborine Mountain.
A unique approach to Queensland wine
Witches Falls has become one of Queensland’s largest wine producers, known for its balance of innovation, attention to detail and minimal intervention winemaking.
Producing all wines on site, using fruit sourced from Queensland’s Granite Belt and South Australia’s Riverland, allows close control over every stage of the process. This approach ensures consistency while still leaving room for creativity. The result is a collection of wines that are expressive, individual and reflective of their origins.
The art of wild fermentation
The art of wild fermentationA defining feature of Witches Falls wines is their use of wild fermentation.
Rather than introducing commercial yeast, wild fermentation relies on the natural yeasts present on the grape skins and in the winery environment. This slower, less controlled process creates wines with greater complexity, texture and depth.
Each batch develops its own subtle characteristics, influenced by the vineyard, the season and the surrounding environment. The result is a more nuanced wine that tells a story in every glass.
This approach reflects the winery’s philosophy of minimal intervention. The winemaker guides the process, but allows nature to play a leading role.
Now pouring at Parliament House
Witches Falls wines are now available at Queensland Parliament House, with a curated selection showcasing wines made from Granite Belt fruit, offering a true taste of the region in a unique setting.
Whether paired with a long lunch or enjoyed as part of an evening experience, these wines bring a taste of the Gold Coast Hinterland into the heart of Brisbane.
It is an opportunity to explore something a little different. Wines shaped by natural processes, crafted with care, and now served in one of Queensland’s most iconic locations.
