MELBOURNE | Badger Creek Blueberry Winery do wines a bit differently than most in the Yarra Valley. As their name suggests, Badger Creek make their wines with 100% fresh blueberries rather than grapes. In fact, over 1kg of blueberries is used in every 750ml bottle of wine. The result is a wine that’s rich, sweet and full bodied. There are a few different kinds of wine you can try at Badger Creek – méthode traditionnelle blueberry sparkling wine, blueberry still wine, blueberry fortified wine, barrel aged blueberry fortified wine and a blueberry style Moscato. We’re particularity fond of the sparkling.
Unlike a lot of wineries, Badger Creek are super small scale and only sell their wines onsite, meaning you really are getting a unique experience when you visit. The family that owns Badger Creek also happen to be friends with the owners of St Ronan’s Cider, who share a cellar door with Badger Creek – so along with trying blueberry wine, you can also try some tasty ciders. Make sure you try the St Ronan’s Methode Traditionelle, double fermented and made using the labour-intensive methods employed by the French.
During the summer you can buy fresh blueberries here, and frozen blueberries are available year ’round or until sold out.
