THE JINKS CREEKWinery Range
JINKS CREEK WINERY - is situated in a green wedge environmental zone on the edge of the Bunyip State Park. The unique and rustic surroundings at the foothills of the picturesque Black Snake Ranges in Tonimbuk are home to kangaroos, wild deer and a myriad of bird life, reflecting the largely organic philosophy of the owners, Abi and Andrew Clarke.
Winemaker Andrew Clarke was the second recipient of a winemaking scholarship from the Victorian Wine Industry Association in 1979, and the first to bravely plant a vineyard in West Gippsland in the 1970's.

Beautiful wine, fabuloso art, delicious food and the most charming and fun host and hostess. All this in most lovely location. Decor is really interesting.. The building itself is a realocated shearing shed (I think!) plus there are recycled tables etc. I loved the bone handled knives and the linen hand towells in the rest rooms.. yet it is essentialyl casual and not at all expensive.

We had our Wedding at Jinks Creek a year ago. It was perfect. Abi & Andrew were great hosts and it was just amazing, right down to the last detail. Our guests commented on the local produce used in our food as well as the delicious wine. A perfect day. Thanks so much. Do yourself a favour and head down on Sunday for lunch to see for yourself. ♥
