New adventurers and seasoned connoisseurs: trust your wine journey to Crittenden. Discover one of the Peninsula’s longest-running vineyards where, for more than 40 years, the Crittenden family has created and mastered quality offerings and experiences for wine enthusiasts of all levels. If exploring wine is on your list, this location is not to be missed.

Intent on delighting the current consumer, siblings Rollo and Zoe Crittenden – general manager/winemaker and marketing manager respectively – honour their parents’ legacy while steering the Dromana business towards contemporary shores, with the property’s landmark wine centre proving a popular feature.

The pair drive an ecologically responsible operation, built on the solid foundation established by Garry and Margaret Crittenden. Rollo oversees the farming of the vineyard in a progressive and sustainable manner, producing first-class fruit while simultaneously taking care of the environment for future generations. It’s just one reason to feel good about choosing Crittenden wines.

Then there’s the superior palate of the wines. Several offerings among Crittenden’s premium ranges received Halliday scores of 95 or higher in the 2025 Halliday Wine Companion, and the brand overall consistently receives the top ranking of five red stars year on year, placing it in the top 15 per cent of Australian wineries and cellar doors. The full range represents high quality at varying price points.

Guests can explore traditional, experimental or alternative wines at the Crittenden Wine Centre during seated bespoke tasting sessions. Simply sip, savour and enjoy learning about the wines from the knowledgeable service team. For an elevated tasting experience, a private tasting room is also available for groups of up to eight people.

To extend the adventure, consider booking a seasonal experience throughout the year.  Options include cheese and wine or pinot and prosciutto pairings, barrel room tastings, vineyard tours and masterclasses hosted by winemaker Rollo himself. Check the website for dates.
