Information about the Wineries we visit

ALBERT RIVER WINES

Albert River Wines

First, Tamborine House, was purchased by the past owners, David and Janette Bladin. The second is now the winery which in its original state was a single-story bungalow in the traditional style now known as the 'Queenslander'.In 1854, the home was built by Sir Thomas McIlwraith, then serving his term as Premier of Queensland. He named the house 'Auchenflower' after the much loved Ayshire, Scotland farm of his great uncle.The word stems from the Gaelic 'Achaidhean Fluir', meaning 'fertile fields' or 'fields of flowers'. In 1998 it was re located and became the new home of Albert River Wines. This is but a snippet of history from this amazing location, more is revealed on our tour.

The first of their estate wines became available in August 2000.
