Pettavel Estate tres its historic roots back to 1842, when Swiss-born vigneron David Pettavel , arrived in Port Phillip aboard the ship Platina. Bringing with him the premium Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier cuttings from Dijon, he partnered with Brequet to establish the pioneering “Neuchâtel Vineyard” in Geelong. Pettavel Estate played a pivotal role in the resurgence of the Geelong wine region from the 1960s onwards. Today, Pettavel remains the largest vineyard in the region.

In 2013, Pettavel expanded its footprint by acquiring an 80-hectare premium vineyard in the Yarra Valley. With a total of 210 hectares across the Port Phillip Bay, Pettavel ranks among the largest premium winery estates in Victoria.

As a James Halliday 5-star rated premium wine producer, Pettavel offers a comprehensive portfolio of premium wines, representing all major varietals and some unique ones. Most recently, Pettavel has invested in the development of Yarra Valley Wine Eden, an iconic new winery complex in the Yarra Valley. This destination will redefine the winery experience, offering visitors immersive wine, food, and landscape encounters at the heart of the most celebrated wine regions in Australia.
