Douglas Vale Vineyard

In the centre of Port Macquarie on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, a unique historic tourist attraction has been developed by the local community to bring back and interpret the last remaining fabric of a successful wine industry of the 1800’s.

In 1863 the Vineyard was planted with Isabella Vines by George Francis and family. The Isabella Vine has a long history and questionable origin. There are various accounts of it having originated in the United States in the North and South Carolinas, New England, and the region around New York. It was introduced into Europe before 1830, where it was extensively cultivated for the production of wine. Today in Australia the Isabella vine is rare. Douglas Vale is one of only a handful of vineyards producing port from this grape.

Located Only eight minutes west of Port Macquarie. It is a fabulous destination for a wonderful, unforgettable experience, with plenty of parking and lots of space for large group bookings and for the kids to run around on the open lawn areas.

On this land Major Innes planted vines over 160 years ago.
