History

Aerial view of Silos Estate The property encompassing Silos Estate was established by James Wiley (a Irish Immigrant) in 1870 who bought the land and began the farming of the property nearly 150 years ago. For a lengthy period of time the property was a dairy, and many of the old farm buildings form part of the current estate operations today.

Since 1984 the property has changed hands several times, with various owners restoring the buildings, planting the vineyard and establishing the restaurant and cellar door.

Your hosts - Sophie and Rajarshi - have been at the property since 2007. Since then the property has found a new lease of life with the accommodation having been further developed and upgraded, the winery and cellar door expanded and new labels for the winery and brewery released. A near picture perfect vista now greets all visitors whether they come to the tasting room; stay at the accommodation or enjoy a meal at Silos Restaurant.
