A north-east Victorian valley known for Italian varieties and Prosecco, settled by Italian farming families.
History
The King Valley was long a tobacco-growing area, worked by Italian immigrant families. As tobacco declined from the 1970s, families such as Pizzini and Dal Zotto turned to grapes, and Brown Brothers, founded at Milawa in 1889, grew into one of Australia's best-known family wineries.
In the 2000s the valley became the home of Australian Prosecco.
Wines of King Valley
Prosecco, Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Barbera, Pinot Grigio and Arneis, along with Chardonnay and sparkling wine.
Climate
