Hill-Smith Family Estates Information

For more than 170 years and across six generations, the Hill-Smith Family has been planting vineyards and crafting quality wine. Each generation of our family has been pioneering and innovative leading us to where we are today; a winemaker integrated through vine cultivation, wine growing, wine making and distribution of fine wine. We have evolved from a single brand to a family of wine brands including Yalumba, Jansz Tasmania, Oxford Landing, Winesmiths, Pewsey Vale Vineyard, Dalrymple Vineyards, Heggies Vineyard and Nautilus Estate. Through the guidance of our Yalumba Nursery we have developed vineyard sites in many of the best regions including Barossa, Limestone Coast, Riverland, Tasmania and Marlborough. Our businesses Samuel Smith & Son and Negociants distribute some of the most revered family wine brands of the world, bringing these wines to the tables of wine lovers around the globe. From our very first vintage in 1849 to the multi-faceted wine company we are today, we pride ourselves on our family heritage and our connection to people, but above all the burning desire to remain a sustainable and successful family-owned wine business for generations to come.
