Welcome to the Minya

The Minya Vineyard and Winery was established in 1974 by Jeff and Sue Dans.
The name "Minya" was chosen from the Aboriginal name meaning "Place of Many Birds" to preserve the heritage of the area.

Minya is the Surfcoasts finest venue for fine wines and relaxing entertainment, overlooking a tranquil and picturesque billabong making the winery an ideal setting to enjoy a light meal, to attend the summer concert series at the outdoor amphitheatre or to utilize this ideal venue for your function, party or conference.

On June 6 2009 the inaugural "An Evening of Australian Literature" took place in front of a capacity audience at the Minya. It was a fantastic night presenting an entertaining selection of poems and yarns.

The 1st prize was awarded to John Davis of Kings Point NSW -"A journey down memory lane".
2nd Brad Pidgeon of Geelong - "Me Lady",
3rd David Campbell of Beaumaris - "The ballad of The Minya"

Thanks to all the contestants and to everyone who supported the event.
