Australian Winery Havens in a Magical Maui Motorhome

Combining the picturesque wineries of Victoria with motorhome adventure, the Maui Winery Havens is a unique Australian getaway. Hit the road in your own hotel on wheels and book a Melbourne Campervan Hire, with five world-class wineries to choose from. But the beauty of this trip is you actually get to stay at the winery, in your personal parking spot. Watch the sun go down, take in the stunning views from the vineyard, then wake up to the tranquil, early-morning harmonies of nature.

 

But that’s not all...

  • A one-night stay for two at an exclusive site location.

  • Gourmet hamper for two AND a bottle of wine

  • Have a one-on-one with the vintners themselves and discover the secrets of creating that perfect blend (subject to availability).

  • All for just $AU140.

  • Take advantage of the stunning Victoria surrounds, via mountain biking, hikes, walks, fishing – so many outdoor opportunities.

 

North-East Victoria Wine Region – a tasty selection

Specifically chosen by Maui, the five properties each have their own individual personality, with one common theme – some of the best wine the Southern Hemisphere has to offer.
 

Brown Brothers Vineyard, 239 Milawa Bobinawarrah Road, Milawa, 3678
As they move into their 125th year, Brown Brothers heritage is steeped in innovation. Their Shiraz, Mondeuse, Cabernet blend is to die for, but there are 40 wines in total to choose from.
 

Dal Zotto, 4861 Wangaratta-Whitfield Road, Whitfield, 3733
Coming to Australia with an Italian heritage, the Dal Zotto reds have received rave reviews, but the knowledgeable staff will guide you further afield if you wish. Perhaps a Sangiovese 2013…?
 

Feathertop, 6619 Great Alpine Road, Porepunkah, 3740
Five-star in more ways than one, this Alpine Valley winery established by Kel Boynton in 1989 is blessed with perfect winemaking conditions. But the fantastic service, extensive cellar door and luxury service are all man-made.
 

St Leonards, 201 St Leonards Road, Wahgunyah, 3687   
An institution in North Victoria, St Leonards was established in 1860 in the Rutherglen region. With the Murray River a stone’s throw away, this winery can simply be described as idyllic. The aromas of berries and oak waft through the Cellar Door, while the Shiraz, Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc fly off the shelves.
 

Cofield, Distillery Road, Wahgunyah, via Rutherglen, 3687
Cofield may be boutique, but the family welcome is most certainly down-to-earth. With a century of winemaking behind them, second generation Damien Cofield is maintaining the outstanding reputation. Sparkling wines are a speciality.  

 
 

The perfect blend

Having enjoyed success in New Zealand, Maui are introducing the wineries to Australia from December 2014, and Marketing GM Kate Meldrum is confident that appeal will cross the Tasman:

“We are thrilled to make holidays more accessible in the King Valley, Rutherglen and Alpine Valleys areas, where we can offer overnight self-drive experiences that wouldn’t otherwise be possible, alongside the chance for guests to interact with the local winemakers and learn about the craft.

“Victoria is just the start of this campaign, as we reach out to other wine regions to extend this around Australia.”

This mini road-trip takes in a network of hugely popular wineries, alongside a unique motorhome driving holiday. Your food and drink palate will be satiated with a beautiful bottle of wine, while local delicacies are a welcome addition to your Gourmet Hamper. For just $140, this is a tour of wine duty you will want to enjoy again and again.

Involved in the travel industry for over 15 years, I draw on that experience regularly in my position here at Motorhome Republic. As a motorhome holiday enthusiast I have done plenty of travelling in New Zealand, Europe, Southeast Asia as well as North and South America. I'd like to add Africa to my list- but I think I will wait until my kids are a bit older first! Until then I will be creating interesting travel related articles to help give you the information you need to plan your next big motorhome adventure!
