Brave Goose Vineyard

Brave Goose Vineyard Brave Goose Vineyard is one of Central Victoria's hidden gems, located just one hour north of Melbourne.

Wines are widely celebrated for their diversity, craftsmanship and celebration of the natural environment. The brave goose in question was the sole survivor of a flock put into the vineyard to repel cockatoos and foxes. As its name suggests, the Brave Goose Vineyard has pushed boundaries of conventional grape growing and winemaking for more than 30 years. The Brave Goose vines were planted in 1988

by former chairman of the Grape & Wine Research and Development Corporation, Dr John Stocker and wife Joanne, after purchasing land on the inside of the Great Dividing Range, near Tallarook Ranges. Two decades on, the reins were handed to daughter and critically acclaimed winemaker, Nina Stocker, and husband, John Day. Together they work on the family's historic property, Glendoxey, managing the home vineyard, growing Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Viognier and Gamay. Nina currently crafts wine for eight labels that are exported to Europe and across Australia.

Bouncing ideas off each other is one of the things I love most about the wine industry. Popped past for a coffee with these two legends and ended up tasting Tempranillo instead! .narelle

So chuffed to be a finalist for Naked Wines UK winemaker of the year 2025!
I can’t believe it’s 10 years since I signed up to making wine for NW (39 weeks pregnant - perfect timing 🤣). It’s been an amazing opportunity for our little wine business, and I’m truly grateful to be a part of - one of the best parts has been connecting with winemakers like Irene and Ben and all the other lovely winemakers from around the world at our yearly catch up in the UK - stay tuned for tour dates - starting in Belfast this year Whoohoo!
🎉🥳🍾

A horrific few days in central Victoria as the Longwood fire ravaged our community. Our farm was just south of the impacted areas and saved due to the wind direction. We are devastated for our friends and community who have lost so much. If you want to help, donate to CFA to support our amazing firefighting volunteers.
