OUR STORY
Four generations.
One unwavering standard.
From Antonio Molluso's first planting in 1965 to today, every vine we tend carries sixty years of family knowledge, dedication, and an obsession with growing the world's finest table grapes.
EST. 1965
WHERE IT BEGAN
Antonio & Giulia found their perfect land.
After years of working vineyards and searching for the ideal ground, Antonio & Giulia Molluso found exactly what they were looking for — fertile soil situated within 500 metres of the Murray River, flanked by native bushland. It was land with character, with water, with potential.
He purchased his first farm in 1965 and began planting — dried fruit, wine grapes, and the first table grapes that would eventually define the family's future. His sons Vince and Phillip grew up on that land, learning the rhythms of the vine before they could drive a tractor.
That original instinct — find the best land, learn from it, and never compromise — still guides every decision at V&P Vineyards today.

WHAT GUIDES US
Our Values
Family
Everything we do is rooted in family — the knowledge passed between generations, the shared meals around our table, and the pride that comes from putting our name on every box.
Dedication
From dormant-season planning through to the final inspection before dispatch — our commitment to excellence never rests. Great grapes don't happen by chance.
Quality
If it's not good enough for our family, it doesn't leave our farm. This simple principle drives twelve quality touchpoints from vine preparation to dispatch.
We don't just grow grapes. We carry forward sixty years of knowledge, care, and an unwavering belief that the best fruit comes from people who treat every vine like it's their own — because it is.
