Our winery started in 1997 with three family owned vineyards in Main Ridge, all ten minutes by tractor apart. Over the past 20 years, Martin and Karen Spedding have been the driving force that have taken Ten Minutes by Tractor on to become the lauded winery it is today. Ten Minutes by Tractor has maintained a relentless focus on quality and the production of single vineyard and single block wines that reflect their different aspects, slopes, soils, altitude and cool ocean breezes which flow from Bass Strait, Western Port and Port Phillip through the valleys that crisscross the Mornington Peninsula. Our journey started as an exploration of the three original vineyards in Main Ridge, today we are helping to lead the development of new vineyard architecture, close planted vineyards, innovations in organic cultivation and viticulture and helping to continue the development of the Mornington Peninsula region as a leading producer of high quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in Australia.
