Gemtree Wines: A Biodynamic Oasis in McLaren Flat

Gemtree Wines, located in McLaren Flat, South Australia, is more than just a winery; it's a testament to sustainable and biodynamic viticulture. Family-owned and operated, Gemtree has evolved into an award-winning destination that seamlessly blends nature, education, and exceptional wine. Established in the 1980s by Paul and Jill Buttery, the winery took a turn towards organic and biodynamic practices in 1994 under the guidance of their daughter Melissa and her husband Mike Brown. This commitment culminated in full organic certification in 2011. Today, Gemtree boasts 306 acres of certified vineyards and a dedicated 25-acre eco-trail showcasing native flora and fauna. The sustainably built Tasting Room offers elevated views of McLaren Vale and the ocean. Visitors can explore the Biodynamic Hut for an interactive understanding of biodynamic viticulture. The 1km Gemtree Ecotrail meanders through regenerated bushland, connecting visitors to the land that inspires Gemtree's philosophies. A range of curated experiences blend nature, food, and wine, making it an ideal destination. Gemtree is also recognised as one of the 'Ultimate Winery Experiences Australia'. Gemtree's dedication extends to every facet, from solar-powered operations and recycled building materials to preservative-free, vegan-friendly wines.
