Douglas Vale Historic Homestead & Vineyard is the only volunteer-run property of it’s kind in Australia. In 1995 a Conservation Group was formed to ‘rescue’ the homestead and vineyard from vandalism and disrepair. Our aim is to continue to preserve this iconic site as a working museum and vineyard for future generations. The homestead and vineyard are classified by the National Trust of Australia and is included in the Port Macquarie/Hastings Council list of Heritage sites. We are a not-for-profit organisation run totally by volunteers. Douglas Vale welcomes new volunteers so if you have some free time please consider dropping in to see us.
