Description
Ballinaclash is a small pick-your-own orchard, vineyard and cellar door, owned and run by Peter & Cath Mullany and their six children
Established in 1965 by Peter’s parents, Michael and Bernie Mullany, Ballinaclash was originally a cherry and stone fruit orchard.
When Peter & Cath took over, they decided to diversify, and in 1997, aware of the ideal conditions they had for growing cool-climate grapes, they planted their first vines.
They continued to grow their cherries & stone fruit wholesaling mainly to the Sydney and Brisbane markets. By 2000, Peter & Cath decided to change the direction of their business, and opened up a part of their cherry orchard to the public for pick-your-own. Over the following years, the pick-your-own cherries market quickly grew, and each year, Peter & Cath opened up more & more of Ballinaclash cherry orchard to pick-your-own. Today, Ballinaclash cherries are carefully grown exclusively for their pick-your-own customers.
