Wines include chenin blanc, sauvignon blanc, viognier, chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon, shiraz, durif, Dolcino (a sweet red), Late Harvest Semillon Aucerot and white port.

Ciavarella Oxley Estate is located at Oxley, 1km off the “Snow Road”, a scenic route to many attractions and gateway to the King Valley and Milawa Gourmet Region.
