Introducing you to Hainault Vineyard ……..
Michael and Lyn Sykes purchased the vineyard in March 2002. Both continue to work in their usual employment while working on the vineyard every spare moment they have. They rely heavily on voluntary labour - family members and friends frequently come to the vineyard to work for lunch or a cuppa.
The objective of Lyn and Michael is to continue to produce premium quality varietal wines while further developing a style synonymous with Perth Hills wines. A major goal is to reduce their reliance on chemicals and increase the use of organic solutions for the management of pests, weeds and diseases.
A café offering light lunches is open on Friday to Sunday and Public Holidays. Bookings highly recommended.

48/365 Grandfather Clock
This is my proudest possession. It belonged to my maternal grandparents Percival James William & Ida Frances Dinwoodie (nee Sharp) and stood proudly in their Hampton Victoria home for many years. I inherited and intend to pass it on when I am gone. When my daughter was growing up we called it 'Percy' after my Grandfather. The clock is somewhere between 80 & 90 years old. It chimes on the quarter hours and then proclaims the hour with a loud and glorious sound that echos around the house.
