Description
Tizzana is a unique agribusiness located on the doorstep of Sydney and within easy reach of the famous Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Listed Area and the magnificent Wollemi Wilderness
Offering a complete agritourism experience, Tizzana has its own vineyard and olive grove, and offers the discerning traveller a rewarding mix of locally produced wine, food and luxurious five star bed and breakfast accommodation.
Nestled in a valley on the Hawkesbury River, just over sn hour from Sydney, national trust listed Tizzana Winery is one of the Windsor district’s outstanding buildings (c1887)
HISTORY
The building stands today as a testimony to two outstanding historical developments of the Hawkesbury. Firstly as a monument to Dr Fiaschi and his high reputation as a skilled surgeon, and secondly as the earliest example of a viable winery in the Hawkesbury area. Today, Tizzana Winery has much to offer visitors to the Windsor region. The National Trust classified building again manufactures its own wines from grapes grown on the property. Some 5 acres of vines were replanted in 1980 (Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Muscat and Aleatico varieties) and an additional 4 acres of olive trees have since been planted. Plans are in place to double the size of plantings in the coming years.
Tastings of house wines and wines bottled under the Tizzana Selection label can be arranged. Group luncheon or dinner functions with home-made treats from our commercial kitchen, can be arranged by calling the proprietors, Carolyn and Peter Auld. Our Olive Branch range of products can also be sourced at the winery. Est. 1887.
