The Wilkinson's were true pioneers of the Australian winemaking industry.Despite two earlier ventures in Australia, the Wilkinson family returned after the brothers Frederick and John had studied winemaking in France and Germany. In 1866 the family acquired the present site of the Audrey Wilkinson vineyard.Living in tents, they cleared the land and planted vines which were sourced from the MacArthur Onslow property.By the early 1900s, Audrey Wilkinson collected awards around Australia for his Hock, claret and fortified wines.
