Through the Cellar Door

A direct descendant of Jacob’s Creek founder Johann Gramp, Alison Weavers (née Roennfeldt) is an architect with a career spanning 25 years in studios in Hong Kong, London and Sydney. Alison’s passion for architecture and wine has taken her to numerous wineries around the world, from Bordeaux to Napa Valley, where she is as likely to admire the architecture of the venue as the wine in her glass. She is particularly appreciative of how Australian winery design has evolved to create beautiful environments that complement and enhance the winemaking and wine-tasting processes. Alison has interviewed winery owners, winemakers, architects and designers to convey their stories about these exciting new wine destinations.
