Encompassing the watershed of the King River, this is an increasingly important grape growing region, albeit one of extremely varied terrain. It is fertile country, capable of producing high yields of good quality grapes across the full spectrum of traditional varieties from Chardonnay to Cabernet Sauvignon and also many Mediterranean varietals such as Prosecco and Sangiovese.
Apart from its scenic contribution as a grape growing region, the diversity of growing conditions provides a range of products from sparkling wines to fortified wines. Areas of the King Valley's homoclime are very similar to the grapegrowing areas around Alba in the Piedmont and Spain, encouraging the trend to Mediterranean varietals. The strong Italian farming and grapegrowing heritage in the region has also been a significant factor.
King Valley is a wonderful destination in all seasons with cellar doors, restaurants and great outdoor activities all to be enjoyed.
