Tallagandra Hill - a business built upon a foundation of spirit, creativity, energy and joy culminating in an iconic brand and destination unlike any other in the Canberra Region.
When current owners David and Mary first acquired Tallagandra Hill Winery and cellar door in 2016 it was exactly as the name suggests - an operation well regarded for its wines in the Canberra District cool climate wine corridor. Today, however, it is so much more…
Over 9 years Tallagandra Hill has evolved into an award-winning Music and Events Venue which is regarded as a leader and key player within Australia's live music industry. It's a place where Australia's most iconic artists want to come to perform in a space with personality and beautiful surroundings. The venue delivers food and wine experiences linked to storytelling and classic Australian music. The focus is on 'matching wine with mood' through unforgettable experiences.
Tallagandra Hill has hosted hundreds of artists, with an average of 30 music shows and 30 private events per year, including celebrity artists such as Jimmy Barnes, Kate Ceberano, The Black Sorrows, Troy Cassar-Daley, The Waifs and many more. It is also a venue which has hosted countless weddings, corporate and private events following the expansion of the cellar door business and function space and, in recent years, the addition of bespoke cottage accommodation and signature art installations.
Tallagandra Hill now hosts over 1500 'family' members and up to 10,000 visitors per year. By connecting music, art and events into its product mix, it has driven a high level of energy and engagement, well beyond that of traditional wine tourism. On offer now is an outstanding, unique opportunity to take ownership of an already thriving business and build upon its already diverse and distinct four income streams:
1. Award-winning wines - wine growing and making, products and cellar door sales;
2. Boutique accommodation - indulgent cottage stays and on-farm experiences;
3. Extraordinary events - music, story-telling and special events;
4. Destination weddings, corporate and private events.
With established contractors to help manage all aspects of the event management and production, catering and vineyard management; and with David and Mary keen to assist new owners with a staged transition, there's never been a better opportunity for a new custodian to take Tallagandra Hill to its next level. Perhaps you've a background in event management and hospitality but wish to branch out; maybe you have a passion for music and exploring industry links; or you are looking for a change in lifestyle and a turn-key investment which allows you the flexibility to expand what is already a thriving business while enjoying a rural lifestyle that been so rewarding for its current owners. Tallagandra Hill has navigated challenging times and evolved into a diverse business with enormous heart, energy and momentum - with 2 years of forward bookings already in place.
