Our Story

We’re not sure if it was the river, or the community, or the vines, or that darling old house that won our hearts, but as soon as we saw Boydell’s we knew we were home.

Our farm and vineyard are on the road less travelled, off the wine trail, along the Allyn river, at the foothills of the Barrington Tops. This little piece of heaven, down the Silverleaf Poplar lined drive, is the place we are lucky enough to call home.

With our four lovely daughters, and a menagerie of animals, we live, breathe, work and grow this land with sustainability a core focus, and we make some delicious, award winning wines in the process. We’d love to share these wines with you at our beautiful Cellar Door and Restaurant in the historic village of Morpeth. Come and find us – you won’t regret it.

We’ve always loved the land and the communities that make up Australian country towns. We feel privileged to realise our loves of farming and wine, to raise our family at Boydell’s. We love people coming together over good food and wine, it brings us great joy!

Of course, as any farmer will tell you, its not all sunshine and roses (or is that Rosés?). We work long and hard, juggling the vineyard, breeding cattle, managing our Cellar Door and restaurant- as well as raising four girls full of grit and good humour! What a life for them, all climbing trees, riding ponies, exploring the land and learning how to swirl and sniff their cordial, we wouldn’t have it any other way! We look forward to clinking glasses with you soon at our venue or event soon.

Cheers!
