Eco-Luxe at Mount Avoca

Tucked into the foothills of Victoria’s Pyrenees Ranges, Mount Avoca is a family-run estate known as Australia’s most awarded organic winery. The property combines certified organic winemaking with eco-conscious accommodation, offering a quiet countryside escape just outside the historic town of Avoca. The Eco-Luxe Vineyard Lodges sit among olive trees and overlook the organic vineyards, blending comfort with sustainability. Each lodge features spacious interiors, large picture windows facing the ranges, private decks perfect for sunset wine tasting, and modern amenities designed with minimal environmental impact. The setting creates a peaceful atmosphere ideal for romantic weekends, solo retreats, or slow escapes surrounded by nature. Founded in 1970 and certified organic since 2014, Mount Avoca produces a diverse range of varietals, from Shiraz, Cabernet, and Merlot to Chardonnay, Viognier, and Sauvignon Blanc, along with less common varieties like Tempranillo and Lagrein. Guests can enjoy tastings at the cellar door, explore the vineyards on foot or bike, and learn about the estate’s sustainable approach to soil health, low-intervention methods, and organic farming. While there is no on-site restaurant, the surrounding region offers local cafés, farm-driven eateries, and seasonal food and wine events. The estate also sits near hiking trails, scenic drives through the Pyrenees ranges, neighboring wineries, and heritage sites tied to Victoria’s gold-rush history. Mount Avoca offers an experience defined by nature, authenticity, and sustainability, where organic viticulture and quiet rural landscapes come together in a refined yet unpretentious countryside retreat.
