Westella Vineyard, nestled in Tasmania's Tamar Valley, embodies the singular passion of its founders, Willy and Jacq Adkins, for Pinot Noir. With a clear vision that simplicity and focus yield excellence, Westella Vineyard concentrates exclusively on cultivating Pinot Noir, leveraging Tasmania's ideal cool-climate conditions.

This philosophy has guided Willy and Jacq from the inception of their dream through to the realization of Westella Vineyard as a producer of exceptional Pinot Noir, Sparkling Rose, and Blanc de Noir in Tasmania.
