Visit on a cold day and you can stand beside the huge open fire place and warm yourself up while sipping on a taster of Prosecco. Once thawed, make your way to one of the many tasting counters and work your way through the epic list. I stuck to the dryer bubbles and then made my way in to red land, getting the chance to try a back vintage Durif which I subsequently bought a bottle of. Why take a bottle home and risk my dodgy cellaring options (in a box under my bed) when I can just pay an extra $20 on the current vintage price and get something with 10 years of age on it already? Brown Brothers is huge and while I don't necessarily enjoy a lot of their "mainstream" drops (the stuff that is made to fly off the shelves at every single bottle-o across the country) some of their more experimental grape styles are bangin'. The prosecco and sparkling are some of the best produced in Australia. I admire the focus on family and tradition here and like that even for a short visit I'm made to feel like I'm part of that extended family by the warm and welcoming staff. read more

Brown Brothers has always been one of my favorite brand of wines. And the food at their winery is pretty amazing and delicious too. Each dish has a recommended glass of wine - must try that! The cold smoked salmon entree should be a must try! Deeeeelicious! read more

Another fantastic meal here. Was here a year ago and still have not disappointed. The wine pairings were superbly done . We had the tea-smoked milawa quail which was tasty and tender. The 2014 Chardonnay pairing was great with it. The pan-fried barramundi was very fresh and it's skin crisply done. Went well with the recommended 2012 pinot grigio. The oyster blade steak was very very well cut and tender. One if the best beef I've taken in recent memory. Went well with the 2014 merlot. Dessert was the banana pudding. Again did not disappoint with its flavour and texture, complimented well with macadamia crumble and white chocolate ice cream. That paired well with the 2013 orange muscat & flora. Worth the trip up to Milawa. Muack! ! read more
The food was amazing the service was great. Food and wine matched for you or you can choose your favorite type of wine to go with your meal. Lovely atmosphere and right beside the cellar door so you can taste wine before your meal. Lovely garden and relaxing surrounds. Won't hesitate to return. read more
Big beautiful winery in Milawa. It's significantly fancier than other wineries as B.B. are a massive global business, but the winery is great to experience and go for some wine tasting and a lunch at Patricia's. The food was alright for the price at Patricia's - didn't quite hit the mark - but overall was a really nice experience and I'd return. read more

The King Valley is probably one of the most spectacular places in the world. A thin road tracks the king river down between often snow clad peaks as it weaves through farm land that is increasingly changing from beef and dairy production to viticulture. Towards it's end where it spreads and the King and Ovens valleys run together, is the township of Milawa. It's a trendy little town, full of hippies and hip farmers, selling everything from honey to chakra alignments. Wineries are plentiful but the biggest by far is Brown Brothers. Normally I would always vote for the little guy. Reccommend the botique outlet over the dominant player - but Brown Brothers has created something of an institution. It's this giant beautiful rustic garden of a place with a cool restaurant and a giant dark wood barn of a tasting room. Their varieties are seemingly endless as is there patience with continued free samplings. They sell wine as well. read more

What a fantastic ambience. Great and polite service from the staff. A beautiful garden area with bean bags. Bliss! A wonderful old water tank on the grounds complemented the lovely garden areas with a wonderful wooden and homely feel to the whole place. read more

History
Established in 1885.
Four generations of the Brown family have built this family business from a 10-acre vineyard at Milawa into one of Australia's leading wineries with vineyards across Victoria and Tasmania. Milawa vineyard was planted by John Francis Brown in 1885 and and survived the economic ills of the 1890s Great Depression and a Phylloxera epidemic that wiped out many south Australian vineyards. His son, John Charles, built the business to one of the most visited wineries in the land, and saw his wines grace wine lovers' tables all over the world. The third and fourth generations of the family continue to lead the business, producing a range of innovative and exciting Australian wines.
