Hill of Promise Winery and Cellar Door

This is the second time I’ve visited this winery. We are from South Australia so last time was a few years back. Although the cellar door was not open Mary opened it up for us as we see passing through the area at that time. This time we called ahead to find out if they were open given today is a national public holiday. Last time my favourite was the fat frogs semillon. I still love it my fave was a red nanna gelso. If you are staying in Bundaberg or surrounds it’s well worth the trip. There is a very pretty garden and verandah where you can bring your picnic lunch. They make mango chutney from mangoes grown on site and dukkah honey and olive oil are also available at the cellar door. Mary says the mango trees forming a barrier around the property saved it when a cyclone came through more than a decade ago. Hospitality is great, the wines are great and the location is great. Will visit next e we are in this part of Queensland.

This is a lovely little family-owned winery (the best kind!). We saw a sign and stopped by on our way from Brisbane to Cairns. I highly recommend stopping by for a wine and liqueur tasting, you definitely don't want to miss ending your tasting with the lemoncello or coffee liqueur. We greatly enjoyed chatting with Terry, a local legend. The wines were absolutely fantastic, the Two Fat Frogs Semillon was a favorite - and we enjoyed our bottle!

Wonderful wines and lovely interesting hosts. Thankyou Mary and Terrence! We bought a couple of bottles each of their beautiful sparkling, a lovely dry interesting Cab Merlot and a sweetish red too (which will be perfect with a nice curry). They have other wines too. Very worthwhile checking out!

Dropped in on our way through whilst travelling and spent a pleasant time trying the wines (and purchasing) plus a wonderful discussion about cooking and gardening. I will be returning to see Mary next time I can to share wine and recipes and take in the view. Thank you for your hospitality!

Mary was a lovely host for us and the wine was fantastic. The house was lovely and cool and the garden beautiful. Mary took her time to chat and explain the wines in detail and we felt very welcome and not rushed through as happens at some wineries.
It's very clear they have a passion and don't cut corners and the dedicating comes through with the delicious choices of wine they craft.
Bought enough wine for the next bit of our trip but we can't wait for an excuse to go back.

Lovely host, informative and charming garden setting. Went on my way with a good red wine

Never thought it was possible to get a sweet red wine but you will find one here! We stopped in on our way back to Brisbane on a whim. Unfortunately I couldn't go up and taste test because I was on crutches and the entrance was up a lot of stairs. I left hubby to it, and without testing, he bought a few bottles of wine. So far, my fav is Nanna Gelso! Oh my goodness! I double checked the bottle after my first sip because I thought it was some sort of port! It is so rich and sweet, and absolutely lovely👍

Beautiful wines and very warm welcome to the cellar door.
As per your recommendation we are having the sweet white that we bought from you with a nice chicken green curry and went so well together ! Followed by a beautiful lemoncello
Recommend to anyone to stop by and try their wines.

We had a fabulous morning chatting to the ever insightful Mary. The wines were delicious and the atmosphere homely. Thank you and we look forward to drinking your wines.

I just loved this place. Me and my wife got a warm welcome and we are definitely coming back here if we got the chance. We bought a red wine (nanna gelso 2016) and had it with grilled chicken and it was just a wonderful wine to that dish. And looking forward to try the sparkling with wine (three merys sparkling muscat) with cheese, biscuits, walnuts and honey :)

Terry and Mary the owners of the winery are a gracious and very kind couple, also very knowledgeable about their wine and food. We stayed overnight in one of the cottages it was very peaceful and we also attended the Long Table Lunch in the winery it was excellent, great food wine and company.We highly recommend the winery.

Terry and Mary are true local legends. Terry makes great wine that’s completely natural and it was great to chat with both of them on our recent visit. Definitely coming back. Ask Terry about the Grenache 😉

Great family owned winery - took the time to give us a great run through of the area and the wines. Thanks!

Nanna Gelso 2016, probably the best bottle of wine I have had since the 1970's !!

Good wine and a great place to visit. Owners are lovely and very informative.
