Galafrey Wines remains a family-owned business and all wines are dry grown, nurtured and bottled on the estate.

Established in 1977 by Ian Tyrer (1946 - 2003) Galafrey is survived by mother and daughter team, Linda and Kim Tyrer. Linda and Kim maintain a hands-on role to ensure that Galafrey philosophy is upheld.

Today, Galafrey has twelve hectares under vine consisting of Chardonnay, Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir and Merlot Grapes. We are also growing Muller-Thurgau, a unique white grape variety that produces a light, flavourful, fruity grape that’s low in acid.

Galafrey's impressive cellar door boasts breathtaking views of the vines and surrounding bushland. Come and meet Henry, the winery dog, who will greet you at the car park and escort you to the door. And, most importantly, enjoy the taste that is Galafrey Wines.
