Joadja Vineyards and Winery is the oldest vineyard and winery in the new Southern Highlands wine area. You can enjoy the beautiful scenic vineyards and award winning cool-climate wines, just 90 minutes from Sydney and close to Wollongong and Canberra.
Joadja have been a well-known winery for more than 20 years. They utilise grapes from the estate’s own boutique vineyard as well as other local grapes.
The small winery has a very much "hands on" approach, with some stainless steel and an emphasis on traditional wine making methods. These include minimal intervention, the use of oak fermentation and maturation and first quality fruit. Our cool climate means winemaking at optimal ambient temperatures.
Unlike most wineries, Joadja is open to the public. Visitors are free to inspect our winemaking and storage facilities at their leisure. Quite often you will find us in the middle of making or bottling wine. If you visit during vintage (typically March to May), you may find yourself in the middle of a hectic crush!
Joadja Vineyards aims to be a little unusual, even somewhat controversial, in the wines it releases. The area is different from other NSW wine regions like the Hunter Valley or Mudgee. Consequently the opportunity exists for a small winery to achieve wines of great interest, quality and distinctiveness. Our emphasis will always be on producing wines with local varietal character and developing styles which suit the vineyard and the fruit from the region. While our small production excludes us from the vast majority of wine show categories, we have picked up a few commendations over the years.
