Pizzini Wines

175 King Valley Road, King Valley 3678

Pizzini Wines is a family-owned winery situated in the beautiful King Valley in Victoria's High Country, 2.5 hours from Melbourne. 

Pizzini specialise in the production of Italian grape varieties including Pinot Grigio, Prosecco, Arneis, Sangiovese and Nebbiolo.

Alfredo and Katrina Pizzini built Pizzini Wines based on their passions and their commitment to family and Pizzini’s Italian heritage. Their winemaking dream began in 1978 when they planted the first vines on the property, then in 1994, the first wine under the Pizzini label was produced.

Today Alfredo and Katrina's four adult children Natalie, Joel, Carlo and Nicole all work in the business alongside them.

At Cellar Door, you can taste a broad range of Italian wine varieties as part of the sit-down wine tasting offering, or immerse yourself in one of their specialised tasting experiences held in the Kiln Tasting Room. There are a range of exciting, hands-on experience options to choose from.
