Provenance Wines

Why Warehouse Sales Matter More Than Ever for Small Wineries As a small winery, we pour our hearts into every bottle. But let's face it – in a tough economic climate, running a small business isn't just about making great wine. It's about finding ways to connect, adapt, and grow. That's where our warehouse sales events come in. These aren’t just about clearing stock – they're about opening our doors (quite literally!) to invite people into a part of our world that’s often behind the scenes. Welcoming our customers to the winery, chatting with them over a shared love of wine, and letting them stock up on their favourites at great prices is about more than sales. It’s about building relationships that keep us going, even when times are tough. For a small business like ours, these events remind us why we started: to create something real and to share it with others. And honestly, there's nothing better than seeing someone’s face light up when they discover a new favourite drop or finally meet the people behind the label. If you’ve ever been to one of these events, you know the buzz in the air. If you haven’t, we’d love to see you at the next one. Small wineries thrive because of the people who believe in what we do, and these moments make all the difference. To fellow small business owners out there – let’s keep finding ways to open our doors and share our stories. It’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it. Cheers to keeping it real and raising a glass to what we’re building together! #SmallBusiness #Geelong #AustralianWine #WarehouseSales #SupportLocal

Every year, the highly anticipated Halliday Wine Companion, Australia's most prestigious wine review guide, is released. Provenance has achieved remarkable success in our brief history, including being recognised as the Best Value Winery in Australia for the 2019 edition. We proudly retain our Top (underlined) Red Five Star rating in the 2025 companion, but what does that mean? 5 red stars are awarded as an “Outstanding winery regularly producing wines of exemplary quality and typicity. Will have at least two wines rated at 95 points or above, and has typically held a 5-star rating for the previous three years (i.e. 4 years in total at 5 stars). “Where the red stars are underlined, it is a winery generally acknowledged to have had a long track record of excellence, typically having held a 5-star rating continuously for 10 years – truly the best of the best.” This year, Provenance has been awarded seven golds and two silver ratings. It's an incredible achievement, with our consistently high-rated wines a testament to our commitment to releasing only exceptional quality wines. Our regional wines represent the best parcels from beautiful vineyards in southwest Victoria, expressing their unique origins and the story of the growing season. Achieving a 'special value' stamp on six of our wines demonstrates not only the complexity and depth in each bottle, but also the excellent value they offer. #fivestars #toprated #wineawards #victorianwine #reviews #geelongwinery

Learning how to taste and describe the many flavours of different wine varieties and styles can be a lot of fun! Not only that, it will help you to explore new wines and have a better idea of what’s right for you, but don’t forget, tastes can tend to change over time. Tasting and assessing wine can be a learning curve to start with, but it gets easier with practice and experience. Visit our Cellar Door and be guided through a tasting by one of our in-house Sommeliers, and you can pick your next bottle with confidence.

The pillars of the Provenance kitchen are Sustainable, Seasonal, Ethical, and Local. Working with key suppliers such as Dama Dama Otway Venison and Great Ocean Duck, who align with our ethos, enables us to offer a unique dining experience for every visit. Head Chef Nathan McIver collaborates with our Sommelier, Liam Tromp, to curate a menu that excites, delights, and showcases every one of our wines. In partnership with Wine Geelong for the annual Pinot Affair weekend, we will be hosting Pinot Masterclasses and an epic eight-course degustation celebrating this magical grape.

It’s go time. As vintage 2024 officially begins today, the toil, dedication, and a year’s worth of passionate care by our vineyard team in nursing every cluster of grapes along to this critical point of harvest. The baton is now passed to our winemakers to capture the season’s story in these sweet little grapes, communicating in wine something that will entertain people and be shared around tables for years to come. It’s a time for the winemakers to use all their skills and experience in guiding the wine through the fermentation journey, making key decisions to showcase the site, variety, and expression of the year. Each variety has its history dating back centuries, each site has its distinct personality, and every fermentation is unique. It’s a time of working hard to carefully capture all the efforts involved and weave the season’s tapestry into a bottle for all to enjoy!
