Marnong Estate is a winery, working farm and heritage destination in Mickleham, just 35 minutes north of Melbourne's CBD and 15 minutes from Melbourne Airport. Set across 1,200 acres in the Sunbury wine region, with sweeping views to the Macedon Ranges, the estate surrounds a restored 1840s homestead and combines a cellar door, restaurants, function and wedding venues, accommodation and a working Angus cattle farm. The first vines went in in 2016 and there are now around 30 hectares under vine, producing cool-climate shiraz, chardonnay and pinot noir alongside Italian varieties including montepulciano, fiano, pinot grigio and Sangiovese.

Reporting to the Vineyard Operations Manager, the position offers the opportunity to be actively involved in a wide range of day-to-day vineyard operations across a young and expanding vineyard.
