Innes Lake Vineyards

Innes Lake Vineyards

Innes Lake Vineyards is a wonderful destination for wine lovers who are visiting Port Macquarie and who desire a day trip to enjoy some beautiful scenery as well as participating in a delectable wine testing. No matter what your favourite wine may be, it’s almost certain that there is an Innes Lake variety that will please you greatly.

Innes Lake has a long history. It was once known as Lake Burrawan, but when the Commander of Port Macquerie, Captain Archibald Innes came to Port Macquarie in 1930 and purchased many acres of land at the lake, he decided to change the name to Innes Lake. This property has been owned by the Charley family since 1906, and it remains in their family today.

The vineyards were first planted in 1988, and have produced award-winning wines that have been quite well received. When you come to Innes Lake Vineyards for a wine tasting, you can expect to sample Chardonnay, Cabernet Merlot, Shiraz, Semillon, and two wine that are made with the Little Fish label called Little Fish Summer Red and Little Fish Summer Wine. It’s possible your Port Macquarie holiday accommodation will have one or more of these wines in the restaurant at the facility for you to order at lunch or dinner, if you find at the tasting that you enjoy them.

What happens at a wine tasting? Usually, you will first be taken on a tour of the wine cellar, where you can admire the tanks and tubing and barrels and everything else commonly used in the fermenting of great wine. Different types of barrels can give wine a different taste, and it is fascinating to hear the guide tell all about it. During this time, you can ask any questions you may have about what you are seeing, how the wine is fermented, etc.

Next, you more than likely will be taken out to see the vineyards. There is truly something magical about those rows and rows of vines that will produce the juicy grapes that are made into wine. They seem to go on forever, as far as the eye can see. Here, you can find out such facts as how many grape vines are planted, how much wine these grapes will produce, and things of that nature.

Now, it’s time to either go back to the wine cellar, or perhaps to another building that is used for this purpose. The wine tasting is probably the most popular part of the vineyard tour, and with good reason! You will taste each wine, which should be at room temperature, since you can’t really tell much about the true taste of chilled wine. It’s considered to be good winery etiquette to spit the wine out after you have tasted of it, and something will be supplied so you can do this. Since a winery normally makes more than one wine, if you were to drink all the samples you receive, you might get more than a little tipsy!

Innes Lake is open from 10AM to 5 PM daily.
