Griffith NSW 2680
Australia
Westend Estate was established by Francesco and Elizabeth Calabria, newly arrived migrants from Italy in 1927. They purchased a five acre block of land at the Western end of the township, Griffith in the Riverina region of New South Wales (big Rivers).
The winery became known as Calabria Wines, now owned and operated by their son, Bill Calabria. In 1974, Bill changed the name to Westend Estate Wines with the aim of increasing the quality and range of wines offered by the winery.
Westend Estate's Tuscan-style cellar door is warm and welcoming. Huge double front doors open into an elegant cellar door and tasting area, fitted out with beautiful oak panelling. The floor-to-ceiling wine shelves flow along each wall in the shape of a serpent, curving in and out.
Large artworks and colorful murals, created by local artists, add to the visual appeal. The adjacent function room can accommodate 200 people and includes a wood-fired pizza oven.
In the covered outdoor area with picnic and barbecue facilities, visitors can enjoy the warmth of the winery surroundings.
