| Lark Hill is located
at 860m on the Lake George escarpment overlooking Bungendore. It is
in an environmental protection zone and is home to many species of
birds and wildlife. The vineyard was named for the sky larks which
sing and soar above the vineyard in late Winter and early Spring.
The wines win many Gold Medals and consumer awards and have an international
reputation as New World wines with Old World style and balance; made
with minimal handling and preservatives. Enjoy a tasting and a chat with the family winemaking team by the fireside in winter, or a stroll in the vineyard during milder weather. Check our website for special events, offers and wine releases. Lark Hill is just 30 minutes from Canberra and is 12 km from the Federal Highway. |
