The Yea Winery, Cidery and Brewery were very fortunate when they came across the Disaster Bay Hot Chilli Wine and they immediately fell in love with the product.  They knew they had to share this exciting new find with their customers and VIP's and has proved to be a "big hit".  It is always available as a FREE tasting in store.

Disaster Bay Chillies is a partnership between Stuart Meagher and John Wentworth. John has been an organic market gardener for more than a decade and Stuart has been a chilli fanatic for at least as long.

Stuart and John combined their passions in 1999 to grow chillies on the far South Coast of NSW to produce what they believe is the world's first commercially available wine made from chillies. They used a recipe from a mate of Stuarts, know as Old Didler, as a starting point. Then, after much experimentation - and a little luck - they struck upon a workable method to produce the wine.

The wine first went on sale at the 3rd National Chilli Festival in 2000, where it created immediate interest, winning the award for the Best New Product at the festival.  The Wine has gone on to win 1st place at the World Fiery Food Awards in New Mexico and it was awarded the Best Chilli Product at the Sydney Royal Easter Show.

The Yea Winery, Cidery and Brewery are super excited to be one of the Victorian distributors for the Hot Chilli Wine.  Contact us today for more information.
