Hugo Wines

Hugo Wines Hugo Wines is an intergenerational family business crafting premium wines from estate grown fruit in the McLaren Vale wine region.

John’s father Colin Hugo planted the original vines dating back to 1950. The vineyard of approximately 25 hectares includes varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Consistency in regard to quality is what Hugo Wines’ strive for, and the fact that all of the fruit is estate grown makes the job that much easier. The climate, soils and proximity to the

coast are also contributing factors in maintaining the quality of these small parcel wines from the Hugo family.

Winter at Hugo Wines

There’s no better way to spend a winter afternoon than settling in with a glass of wine and a regional platter, surrounded by the beauty of the Hugo family estate.

Be seated by the fireplace, settle in at the bar for a tasting with our team, or enjoy the view of the towering gumtrees from inside the cellar door and if you’re lucky, you might even spot our neighbourhood koala.

For small groups, our private tasting room offers a cosy space to gather while taking in sweeping vineyard views.

Prefer to be outdoors? Find a spot beneath the arbour or settle in overlooking the vines and enjoy the crisp winter air.

Wherever you choose to spend the afternoon, winter is the perfect season to slow down, savour great wine, local produce and good company.

Our cellar door gallery is filled with the beautiful artwork of Sherren Jeffery. Driven by colour, mediums, textures and shapes, Sherren’s intuitive works come alive through paint mixing and blending, shapes and lines creating expressive works telling stories of past experiences and future adventures. The artist’s pieces are intertwined with authenticity and connection to colour, offering feelings of warmth, joy and safety.

Winter looks good from here.

Vintage is getting close, and around here that means one of our favourite (and important) jobs.

Walking the vineyard rows, tasting the grapes and watching how the season has shaped the fruit.

It’s a small moment that’s been part of life at Hugo Wines for generations, checking flavour, ripeness and balance before the harvest begins. Can confirm that the little ones are enjoying the sweet grapes!

Slow down at Hugo House.

Built in the 1950s by Will’s grandparents, Colin and Gwendoline, this home has been lived in and loved by every generation since. We’ve gently restored the farm cottage and opened the doors for you to experience a slower pace to unwind, breathe deeply, and soak in the quiet calm of the property.
