FAMILY-OWNED AND OPERATED PERMACULTURE ORGANIC WINERY
Off the Grid Organic Winery’s story goes back a long way. Over a hundred years and four generations in fact. From running cattle to fruit growing, our family’s experience and love for agriculture have remained strong. We’ve learnt a few things along the way, the most important being conservation. Being stewards of the land which has provided for so many, for so long, is a task we take seriously.
Our tasting room is nestled between the two homes of the Paynter brothers, built sustainably with straw bale walls, green roof and solar power. The proprietors have worked hard to consider the environment and the sustainability of the winery, in hopes that it will be a legacy and provide for their children and their children’s children, for years to come.
Together, the four owners each head up once section of the Winery, Weddings, and Vineyard operations. Their past experience skill and expertise marry perfectly to form a completely family-operated business.
We are proud to have obtained Certified Organic status for all of our vineyards in 2013. We currently grow Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Zweigelt, Riesling, and Pinot Noir.
