The Darriwill Farm story began when Dougal and Nellie Ramsay purchased the Darriwill Homestead in 1994.
The Homestead is a historic property on the junction of the Moorabool River and Sutherlands Creek in the Geelong (VIC.) area. Built in 1856, the bluestone homestead was set up as a vineyard and grazing property.
This tradition continues today with the Ramsays planting many native tree species around a large lake built on the Northern side of the original farm buildings.
They have set out on a journey to create a chain of retail stores that embraces all the lost qualities of the traditional Australian country store.
Darriwill Farm specialises in unique and exclusive gourmet food, giftware and boutique wines.
The world’s finest products and wines are sourced from the farm gate, making Darriwill Farm a favourite destination for the discerning buyer.
Their retail stores are a regular meeting place for people to catch up, enjoy a coffee and take in the latest range of freshly sourced goodies.
Since 2004, Darriwill Farm has been successfully growing through franchising.
The demand for a quality provider of Gourmet Food, Wine and unique giftware in Australia is extremely strong.
Whilst opening more stores, Darriwill Farm will continue to offer outstanding customer service and amazingly unique products.

This system is the first of its kind in allowing the localisation of store specific stock holding and ordering, by using the latest store trends, local market and merchandising knowledge to achieve industry leading stock turns and gross profit margins.
