Stefano Lubiana Wines & Osteria

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Tasmania's Purest Expression

On a quiet stretch of the Derwent Valley at Granton, just outside Hobart, Stefano Lubiana Wines & Osteria stands as one of Australia's most committed expressions of biodynamic viticulture paired with honest, produce-driven dining. The estate's own words say it plainly: low cropping, minimal intervention, no synthetics — a philosophy that runs from the vineyard straight through to the table.

Sixth-Generation Farming, Deeply Rooted

The Lubiana family brings six generations of farming heritage to this Tasmanian property. That lineage shapes everything: the decision to farm biodynamically, the progressive winemaking approach, and the osteria ethos that treats food and wine as inseparable. The estate produces wines — including an Estate Pinot Noir and Estate Chardonnay — that reflect the cool-climate character of Tasmania with minimal interference, letting the land speak clearly.

The Osteria at the Cellar Door

The osteria sits within the cellar door experience, where guests can taste wines alongside food in a setting that feels like an extension of the farm itself. The Italian osteria tradition — unpretentious, ingredient-led, rooted in place — translates naturally here. It is the kind of dining that rewards attention: flavours that come from soil and season rather than from the kitchen's ambition to impress.

That integrity has not gone unnoticed. Gambero Rosso, the authoritative Italian food and wine guide, awarded the osteria 2 Forks — a meaningful recognition given the guide's Italian roots and the Lubiana family's own Italian heritage. It places Stefano Lubiana Wines & Osteria in rare company among Australian dining destinations acknowledged by one of Europe's most respected tables.

A Place Worth Seeking Out

Granton is not a dining district. There are no crowds, no theatre. What there is, is a working biodynamic estate where the wine club members — known as Buon Gusto — receive exclusive access to wines that rarely make it far beyond the property. For visitors, the cellar door and osteria offer a rare chance to eat and drink within the landscape that produced what's in the glass.
