For those who might be curious about what makes the region so magical, there are a few theories.
Many say it’s the cool climate that results in a peppery Shiraz, perfect for any alfresco occasion.

And for others, it’s the discovery of a cellar door nestled in a quaint village in a simply spectacular place.
We say it’s all of it. And that’s why we also say it’s been Made The Grampians Way.
