About Tractorless Vineyard
Tractorless Vineyard is a regenerative farm and winery on Compton Park Road in Berrima. Winemaker Jeff Aston brings more than 27 years of experience, including time making wine in Georgia. The name comes from the approach: sheep graze the rows instead of tractors, and biodynamic principles guide the vineyard. The farm also raises Hampshire Down lamb, grass-fed beef and free-range pork alongside its vegetables. The cellar door is a vineyard shed with chalk drawings on the walls and gas heaters for colder days. Tastings are free and take in Riesling, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and a Shiraz Cabernet, as well as less common grapes such as Saperavi, Nebbiolo and Aleatico Moscato. Local ciders, beers and a small farm shop round out the visit, and Jeff is happy to chat when he is on site. For businesses, the team builds tailored food and wine experiences for strategy days, team-building retreats, client gatherings and leadership workshops, teaming up with local chefs and producers. A hands-on winemaking class lets staff create a wine of their own, and guided private tastings can also be brought to your own venue. The shed opens on Fridays and Saturdays, and other days can be arranged by booking. Send an enquiry with your group size and plans.
