Mount Towrong Vineyard is a family-owned cool-climate winery on the slopes of Mount Macedon at 600 metres elevation, established by the Cremasco family in 1996 and inspired by Italy's great winemaking traditions. Estate vines include Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Prosecco (Glera), and Pinot Bianco; the winery also works with Nebbiolo, Negroamaro, Lagrein, Vermentino, Grillo, and Grenache (Cannonau) sourced from other Victorian regions including Heathcote and Mildura. Wines are unfined, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and are 100% vegan-friendly with minimal sulphite use — a low-intervention philosophy that honours both the terroir and the Italian heritage of the founders. The cellar door and enoteca dining space is open from 12 pm on Fridays and from 10 am on Saturdays and Sundays, with handmade pasta by resident chef Andrea Rigodanza. No organic or biodynamic certification is stated, though the vineyard avoids pesticides and herbicides and uses organic compost.
