Your Hosts David and Marg Gillespie invite you to the Dingo Creek Vineyard - The Home of the annual Dingo Creek Wine, Jazz and Blues Festival.

“Worth the detour just for the ambience alone-wining and dining bush-style on the wide veranda and covered deck where you can also watch exotic birds in their aviary” – Courier Mail, Good Life, Northern Pleasures by Glenis Green Oct 26 2004

Dingo Creek Winery has been described as one of the prettiest wineries on the Sunshine Coast and overlooks the majestic Mount Cooroora. "Come to Cooloola" and visit our vineyard. We are located at Traveston in the Sunshine Coast hinterland near Noosa and Gympie in south east Queensland. See our location map for directions.

Over morning tea, the owner, a wine buff from years back will give you an informative lesson on grape growing and ensure that your visit is memorable. You will also be given an opportunity to enjoy wine tasting from our range of premium wines from Dingo Creek Vineyard.

We also hold two annual events for music lovers. In April 2008 we will  staged our Wine, Jazz and Blues Festival featuring  John Morrison, Bob Barnard, John Nicol and other leading musicians. See our Jazz Festival page for more information. The other major event is our "Opera in the Vineyard"  watch for further dates. Click the link to view photos from the October 2005 event.
