Overview
Established in 1980, Wines by Geoff Hardy is a South Australian family-owned and -operated wine company founded by Geoff, a fifth-generation member of one of Australia’s most famous wine families, the Hardys.
Geoff’s family has been tending vineyards in the premium maritime region of McLaren Vale since the early 1850s when his great-great grandfather, Thomas Hardy, arrived from the UK. Thomas was the region’s first settler and is widely regarded as the father of the South Australian wine industry.
Since leaving the then family-owned Hardys in 1980 to make his own way in the Australian wine world, Geoff has grown Wines by Geoff Hardy into one of Australia’s leading family-owned and -operated wine businesses.
In 2012 and 2014, Wines by Geoff Hardy was named Australian Wine Company of the Year by Winestate Magazine, followed by Top 5 finishes in 2016, 2018 and 2019. Australia’s most prominent wine writer, James Halliday, rated the company as a five red star winery in his 2020 Wine Companion. Demonstrating the pursuit of excellence across all aspects of the company, Wines by Geoff Hardy was also named Australian Export Company of the Year 2017 at the Optus My Business Awards.
