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.

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.
