The Payne's Rise Cellar Door
Paynes Rise vineyard is incorporated into the 1860's homestead and property of Seville's first settler, Thomas Payne. The cellar door is open by appointment and gives visitors the opportunity to wander through the original house and outbuildings.
Currently our wines are available by mail order or appointment and at selected outlets.
We aim to present a place rich in history charm and character, where our visitors can relax and enjoy our fine wines.
