Ten Miles East

Ten Miles East An artisan vineyard and winery tucked in a Norton Summit valley within the cool climate of South Australia’s famed Adelaide Hills.

We firmly believe great wines are grown, not made. On our nine-acre estate, tucked within a valley just off Old Norton Summit Road on the way to Basket Range, we focus on growing small quantities of exceptional quality grapes. Using only these estate-grown grapes, we create six small-batch wines, handmade in the European way we fell in love with while travelling the world. Our wines are made gentl

y, without rushing. We use wild ferments, a slower, less aggressive process that better preserves each grape’s flavour, and steer away from mountains of additives. We then allow our wines to collect themselves with time on lees and, when suitable, extended skin contact. And we produce very limited amounts, especially of our reds – often not more than a barrel or two of each. The result is small, handmade batches of unique and incredibly fine wine. James and Taiita Champniss,
Ten Miles East owners and winemakers

TIME FOR A BRIEF UPDATE OF UPCOMING EVENTS!!
We hope you are all coping well with the winter chill - we are open every weekend as per normal - the fires are going, the heaters are on, and there is plenty of wine to warm you up. You can book tastings online or just role up - https://www.tenmileseast.com/

Below are a few of the things that are happening in the next few months -
LATE JULY - The Summit Community Centre SALA opening event – Friday, July 31st
Every year The Summit Community Centre hosts a SALA event for local Adelaide Hills artists, and we are always there in support. Chris will be on hand from late afternoon with Ten Miles East wines available for purchase by the glass, bottle or to take-away.
Jump onto the Adelaide Hills Council website (ahc.sa.gov.au) for details, stop in, say hello and back our local community centre.


MID AUGUST – Paella Man are back with the best value lunch in town – Sunday, August 16th
Aaron, Sharvaun and the team are back! 3 courses for $50 per person. Please email bookings to Aaron on [email protected] and just let them know any dietary requirements. Come along and have some fun!


MID OCTOBER – A food to wine pairing pop up – planned for Saturday October 17th and Sunday, October 18th
Tired of trying to figure out which food goes with which wine and suffering from decision fatigue? We have the solution!
Head on up for a weekend of answers rather than questions. Our food to wine pairing experts Mark & Chris have crafted dishes that specifically highlight four of our wines and all you need to do to have a great time is turn up!
No bookings required, just grab a seat, choose a glass of wine and a tapas sized portion of the ‘right food’ will be served to you. It is that easy!


We look forward to seeing you all soon.

Cheers!
