Paringa Estate is a well-established winery in the Red Hill sub-region of the Mornington Peninsula, known for producing high-quality cool-climate wines. Founded by Lindsay McCall in 1985, the estate has grown into one of the region’s most respected producers of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Shiraz, and Pinot Gris. The vineyard sits on ten acres of north-facing, volcanic soil, benefiting from a unique microclimate that allows for the production of intensely flavoured, well-structured wines.
With a hands-on approach to viticulture and winemaking, Paringa Estate produces three wine ranges: Peninsula, Estate, and Single Vineyard, each showcasing a different expression of the site. The winery was one of the first on the Peninsula to successfully grow Shiraz, proving that the variety can thrive in this cool maritime climate. Over the years, the estate has won multiple awards and continues to be a benchmark producer in the Mornington Peninsula.
The Cellar Door at Paringa Estate provides a welcoming and informative tasting experience, with visitors guided through a selection of wines by knowledgeable staff. The space overlooks the winery, giving guests a direct view of where the wines are made. The estate's reputation for producing high-quality Pinot Noir, Shiraz, and Chardonnay is reflected in its wines, which range from vibrant regional expressions to small-batch, single-vineyard releases.
For those looking to extend their visit, Paringa Estate also has a fine dining restaurant, where guests can enjoy wine pairings alongside a seasonal menu. The dining room offers views over the vineyard, creating a setting that complements the winery’s focus on food-friendly wines. Outdoor garden dining is also available with a more casual menu.
