Ravine Vineyard Estate Winery is biodynamic and organic winery Ravine opened in 2008. The winery is owned by the Harber family. Also known as the Upper Lowrey Farm, the family has milled, farmed and canned fruit at Ravine for 5 generations.
The farm is known to be one of the first commercial grape vineyards in the area with 500 vines planted in 1869. Located on a lush rolling hillside farm in the Village of St Davids.

The winery is housed in a heritage home that dates back to 1815. The building has been painstakingly restored and is set amidst our lush rolling vineyards.In 1867, David Jackson Lowrey purchased the farm that is now Ravine Vineyard Estate Winery.
