Our research has shown that the Studley Park Vineyard land has continuously been used for agriculture for well over 100 years. When the vineyard was established in 1994 the land was used as a market garden. Early plans reveal that the area was known as the CHINESE GARDENS. The vineyard’s street address, GARDEN TERRACE, reflects part of this history. Research has also shown that the original licence to draw water from the Yarra River was signed personally by the Governor of Victoria.  That document also shows that at least as early as 1916, part of the land was used as a vineyard. We are very pleased that we have been able to preserve this historic agricultural and viticultural connection with the vineyard land and Melbourne’s early viticultural history.
