“Paynes Rise Winery” incorporates one of the most historic buildings of the Yarra Valley, the 1860’s homestead and property of Seville’s first settler, Thomas Payne. A small, boutique winery, Paynes Rise boasts outstanding views of the surrounding valley. There are plenty of other natural features to capture the artist’s imagination from the beauty of the colouring vines to the scenic views of the Australian landscape. In the background are the imposing peaks of the Great Dividing Range in and around Warburton. So the site offers a wide variety of subjects for artists with a love for the natural beauty of the Yarra Ranges.
