Meophams Vinyard

Meophams Valley Vineyard was originally established in 1991 by David and Pauline Grey. During their tenure they set the foundations of the vineyard by planting several grape varieties, conducting vineyard tours and creating a range of quality still and sparking wines. During this time their vintages won numerous awards in local, national and international wine competitions. Due to David's retirement, our family were presented with a wonderful exciting opportunity, full of possibilities, to own a vineyard. In November 2015 Ben, Surjit and Surrinder Bassi became the proud owners of the Meopham Valley Vineyard. Between them they have 50 years experience in the agricultural industry and have spent the last 18 years working closely with Davis at the vineyard.
