Victoria's Warrenmang Vineyard and Resort at Moonambel, located 20 kilometres northwest of Avoca, has been listed by the retiring owners Athalie and Luigi Bazzani (pictured above).

They ran the tourist destination winery for around 36 years. On the Great Grape Road in the cool-climate wine territory of the Pyrenees, Warrenmang is credited as having pioneered the vineyard resort concept in 1989. By the early 1990s they were distributing the first Japanese-English tourist guide for the Geelong-Otway region.

The 127 hectare offering is tipped to fetch $5 million plus through Matt Leonard at Tweed Sutherland First National Real Estate, Bendigo.

It has a 100-seat vineyard restaurant, cottage and chalet-style accommodation for 80 guests along with a function centre for 100 people.

The resort opened in 1989 and has about 28 hectare under vine.

Wine judge James Halliday has rated Warrenmang Vineyard a five-star winery.

It was established as a retirement venture by the Parma-born Luigi Bazzani who has about 60 years in the hospitality business.
