Priory Ridge Wines

Nestled in the hills above St Helens on Tasmania's East Coast, Priory Ridge Estate is a boutique, family-owned vineyard producing premium, single-vineyard wines just minutes from the iconic Bay of Fires. With rich Devonian granite soil and a cool coastal climate, our vines thrive under ideal growing conditions, yielding fruit of exceptional quality and character.

Since taking over in 2024, the Keath family has embraced the legacy of this unique property, bringing new energy and respect for its 100-year agricultural history. Every grape is grown and handpicked on the estate, then crafted into exceptional wine by renowned winemaker Brian Franklin of Apsley Gorge Vineyard using traditional Burgundian methods and French oak. The result is an excellent range of wines that reflect the purity and personality of the land.

Our cellar door is a welcoming space that combines rustic charm with East Coast hospitality. A place to slow down, meet the family, and enjoy wine tastings and cheese boards surrounded by vineyard views. With a cosy wood fire, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, our cellar door is a must do stop on your trip to the Bay of Fires. You might even spot a few babydoll sheep grazing between the vines. We've got lots of space for large vehicles and caravans to easily park and for the kids to run around the grassy hills. We also welcome dogs on leads to the vineyard.

Launching in 2025 is Sloop Rock Wines is a new label inspired by the dramatic granite coastline just 13km away. It celebrates our connection to place, with storytelling that anchors the wine in the landscape and spirit of the East Coast.

Whether you're here for a tasting, a relaxed afternoon with friends, or a special event, Priory Ridge Estate offers a genuine, grounded experience that's proudly family owned and authentically East Coast Tasmanian.
