About
the farm
Firstly we farm on Wurundjeri land and would like to acknowledge the people that have lived on and cared for this land for tens of thousands of years. We honour their elders, past, present and emerging. Never ceded, this land always was, always will be Wurundjeri land.
Our vineyard produces a variety of wines that cater to a diverse range of tastes. We make wines that are classic, tried and tested regional styles, and we make others that are more innovative, fresh and surprising.
We pride ourselves on our farming and connection to our land. The Helen & Joey story is one of triumph and courage and being true to ones’ self. We are proud to offer a welcoming and inclusive environment for all who visit.
Our cellar door boasts stunning vistas; in our opinion, as striking as any other in the Yarra Valley, a region famed for its’ beauty.
…and if that’s not enough… We have Unicorns!
the Unicorn
In addition to their healing powers and representation of strength, grace, and beauty, unicorns also symbolize the importance of being yourself and embracing your uniqueness. Just as unicorns are rare and special creatures, each of us has our own unique qualities that make us special. Embracing these qualities and being true to ourselves is key to living a fulfilling life. The magic of unicorns reminds us to never be afraid to stand out and be different, and to appreciate the beauty in our own individuality.
Helen & Joey owners story is one of grit, determination, legacy, immigration, love of the land and a rich history of farming.
To them the unicorn symbolises the softness and elegance they hope is reflected in their wines combined with the courage to have it’s own personality. To always be true to yourself.

The unicorn looking backwards while moving forward is to pay respect to the past, to learn from it and to move forward forging your own legacy.
Wine
OUR WINES
We don’t make a lot of wine, but we do make a lot of different wines. We do this because we want to make wines for all different sorts of people and all different sorts of occasions.
CASUAL, LIFESTYLE WINES
Unicorn and Inara Bottled Wines: Wines with an emphasis on drinkability, more-ish deliciousness and a complete disregard for seriousness and contrived importance. Juicy, primary renditions of the different grape varieties we grow Unicorn Fizz: Wines in a can, with a little bit of fizz. There is no greater statement of wine that fits the casual and unpretentious aspect of the Australian lifestyle. Dry and sweeter whites, a rose and a red.
SWEET WINES
Late Harvest, Bastion & Unicorn Sweet Fizz. Our sweet wines. Late harvest is a light sweet wine, delicious at any time of the day. The fizz can, a little less sweet and a touch of fizz. Bastion, a Wayward fortified wine that is a big bit wine, and a little bit liqueur.
PREMIUM WINES:
The Wayward Children…wines of place
Wines in the Wayward Child range tell a story of this farm. Low intervention, wild fermented and unfiltered. Field blend white and reds, an orange wine, a Pinot Noir and a sweet fortified wine.

The Future
Re’em, our new visitor centre and hotel, is all about sharing what we do and the pride we take in our produce.
We’ve built a big airy space to welcome people, to make visitors comfortable in every possible way, and to share the best of what we, and our broader region can offer.
Re’em will host the new Helen and Joey cellar door, as well as offering sixteen large, well-appointed suites, plus a new restaurant, with a contemporary fusion cuisine.
