Villa d'Esta Vineyard is a small, family owned vineyard and is located on the Mid North Coast of NSW, approximately 20 minutes south west of Taree. The vineyard was established in 1997, with both table and wine grapes being planted by family and friends wanting to experiment with winemaking. In the years since then, plantings and production have steadily increased.

At Villa d'Esta, they grow all the grapes that go into producing their wines. Twelve acres of grape vines have been planted at Villa d'Esta. Of the 11 acres of wine grape vines, the majority are Chardonnay, Chasselas Dore and Chambourcin grapes. There are also some small plantings of Pinor Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz grapes.

You can enjoy wine tastings and cellar door sales. Picnic and barbecue facilities are also available.

Wallambah Vale Wines is located on the Wallambah Road, 12.5 kilometres from Nabiac. Established in 2008, Wallambah Vale Wines pick, produce and bottle their wines on the premises. Their chardonnay is light and crisp, and their rosé has a unique fresh fruity flavour. Both are very enjoyable with a cheese platter. Their red is made from the chambourcin grape which is nicely rounded with a smooth pepper finish. Wine tasting and sales are available through the cellar door. The vineyard offers wheelchair access to all areas. Small groups are welcome. You can also enjoy a coffee and light snacks in the beautiful shaded outdoor area overlooking the vines or in the air-conditioned tasting room. Visit Wallambah Vale Wines for your warm and friendly welcome and enjoy a unique experience among the vineyard.
