The vineyard and rustic cellar is located along the beautiful Darling Scarp in the locality of Herne Hill.
Charlie Zannino arrived in Australia from Italy as a youngster, when he, his mother Mariangela, and his two siblings were reunited with father/husband Antonio ù who had migrated three years earlier ù in 1953. As a family, the Zannino's moved onto an eight-hectare property in the Swan Valley, establishing a vineyard while Antonio also worked at the Midland railway workshops.
Charlie learnt about winemaking from an early age and finally took over Valley Wines, wife Sally Monti now being his partner, and Sherry, sweet Vermouth and Port are the most popular styles sold mostly in five, ten and 20-litre containers.
