About Us
Woongooroo Estate is a family owned, boutique vineyard that has produced award winning wines since the late 1990s.
Phil & Gail were educators before they built a life in wine, and they still enjoy sharing practical viticulture notes with visitors. Since the first plantings in 1997, the established vineyard in South East Queensland has included a small olive grove with Manzanillo and Frantoio (Paragon) trees.
The range spans reds, whites, sparkling styles, and ports, with medal wins that sit comfortably within Queensland’s growing wine scene.

Phil and Gail are active members of the Somerset Valley’s Grape and Wine Producers Association Inc. Phil has served as President since 2011. The association backs quality Somerset grapes, local cellar doors, and a clear regional wine trail.The vineyard sits at the foot of Mount Archer on rich volcanic soils suited to quality wine grapes.
Neurum Creek borders the property. Selective drip irrigation supports vine health and steady ripening through the season.
The wine list is built around styles that suit Queensland growing conditions and the way people drink wine here.
