Levantine Hill welcomed Australia’s favourite design series, The Block, to the Yarra Valley for a day of filming that celebrated design, craftsmanship and precision. Contestants arrived by helicopter before filming inside the Winery designed by Fender Katsalidis. A pivotal moment revealed each home’s auction reserves and the auction order - presented on a Levantine Hill bottle in a handcrafted Optume timber box - before contestants unlocked their reserve prices. In a gesture of generosity and craft, Levantine Hill contributed $250,000 in fine wine to be gifted to The Block buyers on auction day.

Levantine Hill, recently crowned Australia’s top-three winery, is pleased to announce the appointment of Duncan Thomson in the new role of Chief Executive Officer of Hotels and Hospitality, heralding an exciting new era of expansion for the Yarra Valley icon.

We recently welcomed Scott, Shelley and The Block teams to Levantine Hill for a never-experienced series of winemaking challenges.

Upon the five teams’ arrival (in true Levantine Hill-style via helicopters), they were faced with the tasks of crushing, blending and designing their very own bottle of wine.
