WINERY PROFILE ... Markwood Estate
FJ (Rick) Morris is a fourth generation winemaker, his family having started winemaking at Rutherglen Victoria in 1859.

Rick's philosophy for making wine is to produce very high quality wine using traditional methods and without the use of chemicals both in the vineyard and also in the winery.

Markwood Estate was established in 1971 with the planting of 7 acres of vines consisting mainly of cabernet-sauvignon shiraz and a mixture of white varieties.

 The Gourmet Region Story 

Milawa Gourmet Region - Australia's first gourmet region was conceived in 1994 with each member providing a service to visitors and proudly displaying the gourmet region's logo.

The region is centered around the townships of Oxley, Milawa and Whorouly and is home to numerous fresh and processed food producers plus a number of Victoria's leading wineries.

The Milawa Gourmet Region is home to the makers of fine food, wine and craft offerings, from mustards and condiments, free range chicken, fresh berries in season, jams and preserves, olive oil and preserved olives, ceramic art, fine woven fabric, photographic art, honey, lavender products, plant nurseries, fine furniture made from Australian timbers and more.

Four times a year Milawa Gourmet members hold a "Producers Market" at the Crossroads Miilawa featuring local gourmet produce.

There are numerous options for accommodation, including classy B&Bs, motels, a caravan park, camping, and a five star hotel, as well as tourism operators who can tailor an itinery to suit, or provide bicycle hire and pick-ups/drop-offs.
