Ravens Croft Wines Estate is set high in the hills, at an altitude of 950m above sea level, 12 kilometres west of Stanthorpe, in Queensland's premium wine growing region, the Granite Belt.
The cellar door is a charming Western Red Cedar cottage surrounded by young vines with views across the valley. It opened in July 2004. Tastefully decorated, this modern intimate cellar- door has the charisma of a wine bar. You are invited to come and enjoy Ravens Croft Wines on the deck outside - perfect for relaxing and enjoying wine with a choice from the lunch menu.
The vines were planted around the cellar door / sales area to allow you a tasting experience surrounded by and relaxing in the vineyard. There are also beautiful views over the valley towards Bald Rock.

The 26 acre property was purchased at the end of 2002 and the first grapes were planted in 2005. Verdelho, 1 acre, was the first variety planted. It was then decided to try something different and an acre of Pinotage was planted in 2007. [Pinotage is a South African variety and was created from a Pinot Noir X Cinsaut cross. The variety has grown very well and we expect our first crop in 2010.] Further plantings are planned with another acre of Verdelho being planted in 2009
Ravens Croft's own winery has been newly established in 2009 with a 50 tonne capacity.
