Albert River Wines

The original homestead was a single-story bungalow in the traditional style now known as the ‘Queenslander’. In 1880, the home was bought by Sir Thomas McIlwraith, then serving his first term as Premier of Queensland. He named the house ‘Auchenflower’ after the much-loved Ayrshire, Scotland farm of his Great Uncle. The word stems for the Gaelic ‘Achaidhean Fluir’, meaning ‘fertile fields’ or ’ field of flowers’.

The trip to Albert River Wines through the beautiful Albert River Valley is a sightseeing tour in itself, taking you past some of the region’s finest beef & dairy cattle and thoroughbred properties. Today the various wines at Albert River Winery are some of the best in Australia and the Gold Coast. As well as sampling the full range of Albert River Wines and browsing for unique gifts in the Showroom, visitors can view a fascinating collection of photographs and articles detailing the rich and sometimes colourful histories of both Tamborine House and Auchenflower House.
