Featured Winery:

La Cantina - King Valley

Located in Victoria’s King Valley; La Cantina is a vineyard with strong Italian heritage that is known for their vegan-friendly and preservative-free wines. Gino and Carmel Corsini began growing grapes to produce wine for family and friends. Additional vines
were planted in 1980 when Brown Brother’s of Milawa, approached the family to become contract growers.

In 1992, Gino and Carmel’s eldest daughter got married and insisted that her dad’s wine was to be served at the reception. From that day, people asked if they could buy Gino’s Vino. (Gino’s wine). In 1995, Gino and Carmel decided to establish La Cantina King Valley. Sales started increasing and it was in 1997 that they decided to build a cellar door.

La Cantina continues to grow as a business but is firmly aligned with the family traditions it began with and remains solely run by the Corsini Family. Although Carmel passed away in 2003, Gino is still highly involved with the day to day running of La
Cantina King Valley. Even at the age of 88, he is regularly found pruning, checking baumé levels or packing wine.
