About Us

Welcome to Crabtree Winery. We are a boutique estate winery in the heart of the historic and iconic, Watervale district of the Clare Valley. Visiting our cellar door, you can relax and enjoy our informal tasting room and courtyard that looks out over our 13 hectare vineyard and is within the produce cellar of the original 1850's homestead. Here we encourage you to take your time to savour our tasting range of premium wines that are all handcrafted and estate grown. The winery was founded in 1984 by Robert Crabtree who then quietly built a formidable reputation for award winning classic Watervale Riesling and traditionally styled premium Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, along with the popular alternative variety Tempranillo and innovative Rose, produced from grenache. Visit us soon and share our passion for enjoying the fine wines of Watervale. Buses and Tours - We appreciate your business and referral, however our intimate cellar can only accommodate large groups by appointment, please call our office to arrange. A Unique Cellar Door Experience. "Five Star winery" - James Halliday.
