Kensington Rocky Passes Vineyard, VIC  1590 Highlands Rd, Whiteheads Creek VIC 3660
Kensington Winery is located in the picturesque Goulburn Valley of Victoria, just 90 minutes away from the Melbourne CBD and 15 km away from the rural city of Seymour. Seymour serves as a transport hub, serviced by the Hume Freeway, the Goulburn Valley Highway and the Melbourne-Sydney rail line, making it easily accessible from other parts of Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia. The Kensington Winery residence, nestled in the foothills of the Strathbogie Ranges, was first built in the mid-1880s. It was rebuilt and expanded in the early 1900s and again in the 1940s. The development of vineyards in the surrounding area began as early as the 1860s. But as a result of the spread of the Phylloxera insect that began devastating Victoria vineyards in the late 1870s, many of the vines were ripped out and the land repurposed for grazing. The replanting of vineyards in the area began in the 1960s.
