Art of Krupinski

Welcome to bear country! Newcomers to the region, Natalia & Artur Krupinski have taken a well-established vineyard and turned it into a family-run winery and cellar door.

Inspired by their parents’ migration, the family hopes to continue the legacy for generations to come.
Whilst Art of Krupinski takes their wines seriously, there is always time for fun and laughter along the way. Immerse yourself in storytelling, beautiful views and of course, great wine.
