The Winery

The winery and vineyards at Cassegrain have become a significant tourist destination in the Port Macquarie area. Its close proximity to the thriving coastal resort town of Port Macquarie, and easy access off the Pacific Highway between Sydney and Brisbane, has made it a popular destination for both local and visiting wine enthusiasts.

The winery overlooks rolling vineyards and magnificent rose gardens created by John’s wife, Eva Cassegrain. A lovely picnic area with BBQ facilities and children’s playground is set amongst rolling lawns and rose bushes and the formal garden is perfect for that romantic wedding setting or corporate function.

The contemporary and spacious Cellar Door provides visitors with the opportunity to taste the full range of Cassegrain’s wines, and the open plan nature of the winery allows visitors to view the Winemaking Team at work. Also available on sale is a range of branded merchandise (shirts, corkscrews etc) together with a range of local produce including olives, soaps, nuts and jams) – come and have a browse!

A natural amphitheatre set amongst the vineyards is the location for the hugely popular annual wine & music festival - A Day on the Green. This beautiful amphitheatre, together with the formal gardens and private tasting room are regularly used for corporate functions, entertainment events and private ceremonies.

Guests to Cassegrain winery can also enjoy any of the Cassegrain range of wines at the award winning Ça Marche Restaurant, situated adjacent to the Cellar Door. With a team of chefs specialising in modern Australian cuisine, the restaurant was recently awarded Best New Restaurant in northern NSW.
