Description

Dandelion Vineyards is a combination of old vineyards, a young winemaker, and a couple of mates to help out in-between, which they believe makes for the ideal winery.

Firehawk Farm is a 60-acre property perched atop an ancient ridge overlooking McLaren Vale, the Willunga Escarpment and the Gulf of St Vincent. Firehawk is the native bird of prey that soars over their vineyards acting as scarecrows to other birds, rabbits and the like that eat ripening grapes. Below the surface there’s limestone, ironstone and the 40 acres under vine include, Grenache, Shiraz and Petite Sirah. The vineyard is currently being converted to biodynamic.

Cellar Door

When Elena and Zar Brook purchased Firehawk Farm Vineyard in 2018 they always had the dream of opening a cellar door on the stunning 60-acre property and can’t wait to share the grounds with visitors, family, and friends alike. Now the Wonder Room is deep in construction and set to open its doors in Spring 2022.
