About Us

The founding father of DiGiorgio Family Wines, Stefano DiGiorgio, arrived in Australia from Italy on July 9th, 1952.

Right: Stefano, Frank, Rita and Nanni DiGiorgio.

Apart from a brief stint on his arrival and a later move to Queensland to take up a sugar cane cutting job, Stefano has always held interests in the Lucindale district of the Limestone Coast,

and has been acquiring land and developing farming businesses in the Lucindale district since first arriving. This was through the contracting of services to local councils and farmers.

From 1956, he and his family have worked in the area. During his early years in Australia Stefano worked in several farming operations and was admired for his ability to take on any challenge handed to him.
