Our Team - Boyntons Winery

Our Team

"Riesling Rose", our cellar door Queen! Scott Marsden (Janelle's Big Brother) Grant in our cellar door Janelle and Kaz Eddie prepping in the kitchen Boynton’s Feathertop Winery has a fantastic team environment with all members working together by multitasking through many of our wineries disciplines. If you are coming through our Cellar Door, you will most likely meet Rose, Grant, or Kaz (sometimes Leanne or Kylie). Our knowledgeable and educated team members have kindly taken the time to indulge in numerous wine tastings, ensuring we have our product up to scratch and that all the tasting notes are accurate. Rose, Kylie, Jodie & Kaz are our Wine Club (known as Summit Cru) experts. With four deliveries a year, our team have their work cut out for them. Summit Cru is at the heart of our winery; our members are integral to Boynton’s and the development of our product. With special releases including small parcels of Temprenillo and Sangiovese, the boys (Grant, Col, & Geoff) have their work cut out for them putting all the Summit Cru cases together. Janelle, Jodie and Kylie work in the upstairs office. Jodie works primarily with the Boynton’s finances, local and national sales. Janelle is in the field of project management and is our all encompassing business manager. In between working in her architectural business and chairing the Food and Wine Council and directing the board for Tourism Victoria, she finds the time to run the indoor office at Boynton’s. Finally, Kylie is responsible for coordinating functions and events, managing the Alfresco Dining Restuarant and coordinating the PR and Marketing surrounding the winery. Together, when you're phoning through to Boynton's Feathertop Winery, you're bound to talk to one of them. This summer, Boynton's winery welcomed our new head chef to the area. Eddie Huynh together with Ikuei Arakane (Kin San), the pair have been responsible for delivering the Alfresco Dining & Proudly Porepunkah experience on the lower terrace. Heading front of house, we have Leanne, responsible for our fantastic wait staff. We look forward to continuing to deliver great food in the Alfresco Dining Restaurant until handing Eddie and Ikuei back over to Melbourne's top restaurants. In the meantime, your hungry tummies can continue to be fed by the Deli which is operational 7 days throughout the year by our Cellar Door staff. Our outdoor staff consists of Kel, Geoff and Col. Kel is our head winemaker and viticulturalist and Geoff and Col have their day filled by helping Kel to harvest, blend and bottle the Feathertop Wine. The boys have their work cut out for them by managing 50 acres of vines and are responsible for over 10,000 cases of wine. Janelle's brother Scott Marsden oversees the brewing of a Lager, Pilsner, Ale and Driver's Light for us in Mildura under the Boynton's brand and you may see him around cellar door giving us the occaisional helping hand. A close team, the Boynton’s Feathertop staff work together to bring to you the Boynton’s Feathertop product seven days a week.
