Mount Beckworth Wines is situated on a small plateau on the east side of the mount, 25km north of Ballarat and only 6km out from the gold townnship of Clunes.
The property is owned and operated by Paul and Jane Lesock.
The vineyard was established in 1984, 10 acres in size, and planted with the premium grape varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
We are classed as a "boutique winery" with all wines being handcrafted and made by traditional winemaking methods to achieve complexity and balance.
We have been fortunate to date with our wines winning over 68 Awards in way of Gold, Silver or Bronze medals at various Wine Shows and also the first Ballarat Winery to be awarded a Trophy at the Ballarat Wine Show for best White Table Wine for the region.
We feel this as an endorsement of the quality of wines produced from this area.
Our Cellar Door is situated in the main street of Clunes and is called "Enoteca @ Clunes".
We are open every weekend for tastings and sales. Other times are by chance or appointment. Give us a call on Tel 53434207 or mobile 0457367718.
In Clunes you can enjoy the historic Fraser Street and visit the many other shops of interest. There is food and coffee right next door to our "Enoteca" - sit back and relax with a glass of any of our wines.
