Purple Hen Wines

Purple Hen Wines is located on a farm property in Rhyll on the northern side of Phillip Island. This family-owned winery focuses on producing premium cool-climate wines from grapes grown on the estate. The cellar door provides a space for visitors to sample current releases, featuring varieties such as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Sparkling. Patrons can purchase bottles or enjoy a glass while looking out over the vines and the waters of Western Port. The site prioritises traditional winemaking techniques to highlight the specific characteristics of the local coastal environment. The location is a short drive from the Churchill Island Heritage Farm, making it a convenient stop for those exploring the eastern end of the island. While the primary focus remains on viticulture and wine sales, the venue offers a relaxed setting for guests to learn about the production process. The surrounding acreage provides a quiet atmosphere away from the busier tourist hubs. It serves as a central point for discovering the agricultural side of the region while staying within reach of the Rhyll township and jetty.
