I’ve always thought the name, Iron Pot Bay as strong and bold and definitely standing the test of time. We love history and a good story and there is a story in every bottle here at Iron Pot Bay Vineyard.

On very old sailing charts, the nearby bay was called Iron Pot Bay, we understand it was named during the whaling times, when whales were hunted in the Bass Strait and processed in the Tamar River.

The original dream was that of Kyra Hinman and Rod Cuthbert when they purchased the land and planted the first vines in 1988.

Our part of the story begins in 2013, jumping into the vineyard with no experience…it is not glamorous or romantic owning a vineyard…it is hard work, there have been many sacrifices and literal blood, sweat and tears.

The Iron Pot Bay Vineyard cellar door and tasting rooms or ‘The Cottage’ as it is fondly known was designed and built in 1907 by Alexander North, master architect of the late 19th early 20th centuries. His art deco design is reflected in little touches throughout the cottage.
