About
Welcome to Mt. Bera, a historical homestead located in the cool climate area of the Adelaide Hills, some 30km North-East of Adelaide, South Australia.
Mt. Bera produces quality Merlot, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, some of which is kept to produce boutique wines along bordeaux and burgundy styles.

The property consists of 75 Ha with 11.57 Ha of mature vines made up of:
- Max’s Vineyard with 4.22 Ha of Cabernet Sauvignon planted in 1997; and
- Valley Vineyard with 4.14 Ha of Merlot planted in 1998, and 3.21 Ha of Pinot Noir planted in 1998.
The remaining area is made up of a further 6 Ha proposed vineyard, 3 Ha of native bush, and 64.5 Ha of prime grazing country.
The garden and surrounding grounds feature many varieties of mature trees such as cork, chestnut, various apple, walnut, olive, culinary-grade bay tree as well as large oak, cyprus, and pine, all dating back to the original settlement and the owner’s love of the Devonshire countryside in England after which Mt. Bera is named.
