Our Story

Preston Peak began as a vineyard with an unreasonable view. Everything since has been built to share it.

The Vineyard

At 700 metres on the Great Dividing Range, the vines that wrap the estate ripen slowly through warm days and genuinely cold nights — and the escarpment they cling to gives Preston Peak the view couples travel for.

Today the estate is the exclusive home of Preston Peak wines — Shiraz, Chardonnay, Petit Verdot and more — poured across every celebration and offered at the cellar door.

The Chapters

  1. 01

    Est. 1994

    Vines first went into the red basalt soils of Preston in 1994, drawn by altitude, cool nights and an outrageous view over the Lockyer Valley.

  2. 02

    The Cellar Door

    A tasting shed became a destination. Weekend drives from Brisbane and Toowoomba turned into long lunches that never quite ended.

  3. 03

    The Estate

    The Pavilion, the Olive Grove and the Arbour Kitchen grew around the vineyard — and Preston Peak became the Downs' most photographed place to celebrate.

  4. 04

    Today

    A celebrated events estate, seven venues, and a cellar door that carries Preston Peak wines to tables across Australia. The view, thankfully, hasn't changed.

The People

Established in 1994 and today in the care of owners Alex and Gladys, Preston Peak is still run by the family who live it — chefs, event planners and the folk who wave you up the driveway.

They run on one belief: nobody should leave the estate without a story to tell.
