Yalumba Winery was planted with the first vine by Samuel Smith in 1849. Today, the family has been brewing for six generations. Samuel Smith was originally a British beer brewer, and after immigrating to Australia, he and his son purchased a piece of land to start growing grapes and named it Yalumba, which means “all the land around”.

After more than 170 years of hard work, Yalumba Winery today has considerable scale and reputation. Robert Hill Smith, the fifth generation heir to the Smith family, the current owner, said of his winery that their constant pursuit is not only a responsibility for history, but also an enthusiastic pursuit of the future. This also fully illustrates the mission of Yalumba Winery to pass on its history and carry forward the future. Robert Hill Smith worked in Yalumba’s cellars and vineyards from 1970 before becoming involved in the sales and marketing departments of the winery and being responsible for exporting and developing an internationalization strategy for the company. In 1983, he was appointed head of marketing and he soon began to struggle for new quality wines for the family business. A few years later, Robert Hill Smith, together with his brother Sam, secured the Smith family’s controlling stake in the winery and adjusted the direction in favor of the winery’s future development, and is now a top winery that has set several world records.
