Yalumba’s history dates back to 1849, when it was founded by Samuel Smith, a British migrant and English brewer. Over 160 years later, Yalumba claims to be Australia’s oldest family-owned winery and has grown in size while developing a strong reputation among wine lovers. Today, Yalumba is a member of Australia’s First Families of Wine, a wine alliance consisting of 12 wineries that are all dedicated to increasing the quality and diversity of Australian wine.
