Kim Heslop
The great and powerful Kim is the boss and the stopper of the buck (even if husband Jon disagrees). She sees and hears all and has a knack for saying things exactly how they are. Kim mostly works behind the scenes, but if you’re lucky, you might see her pop into the Cellar Door wearing her pink glittery gumboots 😉.
Jon Heslop
Jon is the owner, chief winemaker and visionary of Witches Falls Winery. He has been actively involved in the winemaking industry since 1995. He has a respect for traditional winemaking practices and a passion for innovation. It's this combination that has brought the Witches Falls Wild Ferment range into fruition.
Abby Heslop
Abby is the reason Witches Falls can now claim to be family winemakers! Abby is continuing the tradition with her completed Bachelor of Viticulture and Oenology. Currently, she is expanding her knowledge and is the assistant brewer at Sea Legs in Brisbane. Outside her winemaking interests Abby also loves her sport, dogs and travelling.
Al Windsor
Al is a true legend at Witches Falls. Every year, he takes annual leave from his real job as a Senior Ambulance Officer and helps with vintage, as he has done since the winery’s fledgling years. He has earned himself great love and loyalty for his tradition of cooking the staff lunch every day during vintage!
Lauren Dalgarno
A woman of many talents, Ren's love of all things wine is captivating. Her knowledge has been honed from years spent living in Paris and exploring the old-world wine regions of Europe with husband Sam. She has recently completed her Masters of Oenology, externally while being hands on in the winery.
Sam Routh

Dave Appleton
An absolute jack-of-all-trades, Dave is our Chief Handyman and maintains our grounds with expert efficiency. An undeniable master of innovation, it might be hard to catch him as he moves from one job to the next. If you do, he is always happy to chat. He’s drawn to coffee, apricot delights and knows just about every single local by name.
Tanya Robertson
Got a question? There’s a good chance Tanya will know the answer. Not only is she our Export and Accounts Manager, she also supports most other departments and has a hidden talent for karaoke. Her passion for wine, combined with expertise in logistics transportation, and a love for travel, makes her a master across the board.
Virginia Tullemans
So what does Virginia do... well it would be quicker to answer what she doesn't do! From packing & organising your wine deliveries, to admin support & accounts, to being that friendly voice on the other end of the phone, Virginia certainly does it all, and we couldn't do it without her!
Michael McAteer
Mikey is our Business Development Manager. He is dedicated to delivering wine to local independent stockists, cafes and restaurants. He’s mostly out and about, meeting new people, providing tastings and creating relationships .
