Priory Ridge Estate is a picturesque vineyard sprawling across 20 hectares of breathtaking rolling hills.

Our cellar door is a rustic converted shearers shed with cosy wood fire. There’s plenty of outdoor seating and games to welcome the kids to run around, lots of parking suitable for large vehicles and caravans and we welcome dogs on leads to join you as you taste our wine.

We are currently closed from March 2025 to September 2025 unless making an appointment.

During the spring and summer seasons, Priory Ridge Estate offers wine tastings and cheese boards.

Our cheese boards feature Bay of Fires cheeses, house-made quince paste + a selection of pickled vegetables, homemade bram cake, seasonal fruits, nuts and crackers. (Gluten free option available)

Cheese boards $30 each designed for two to share.

We do not have a restaurant or a la carte menu, so unfortunately do not offer lunch although our platters are substantial.

At Easter 2024, the Keath family became the new owners and as such, caretakers of Priory Ridge Estate. As a small family owned and run vineyard, we're committed to honouring its legacy while shaping its future through sustainable practices.

The vineyard and cellar door will be closed from March to September 2025.

The family have lived in Scamander for more than 40 years, so when the opportunity presented to take on this beautiful piece of East Coast land on the George River with established vineyard, bushland, and water ways, we jumped at it.

Parents Bruce + Heather along with their children Roland, Grace and Bonnie are excited about the future of Priory Ridge for our growing families and looking forward to sharing it with you all. It’s been a wonderful journey so far sharing the property with the grandchildren, family and friends, and creating a passionate community of colleagues and like minded people who are working with us and showing us the ropes to make exceptional wine and a great visitor experience.
