Our Story

Past generations of the Legoe family would indulge in a fine drop set amongst the beautiful landscape of the Woodsoak Property. The current generation, Will, has married his love of fine wine and Aussie farming traditions with the vibrancy and colour of his wee wife, Sonia’s, Indian heritage.

Will and Sonia Legoe (affectionately know as the Farmer and his Wife) own and operate their vineyard and cellar door in the stunning coastal Robe Wine Region of South Australia.  The property has been in the Legoe family for 75 years as a cattle and sheep enterprise. In 1998, Will and Sonia  planted a 55 acre vineyard and in 2010, launched the Woodsoak Wines label, their 4th child!

Will, a 6ft 5 farmer and viticulturist, has married his love of fine wine and Aussie traditions with the vibrancy and colour of his wee wife, Sonia’s “Bollywood” heritage. With 3 of our 9 wines named after our children, Vijay, Raj and Rani, we ran out of children & had to come up with other names as we expanded the range!

Our wine range includes: Zaahira Sparkling, Santi Sauvignon Blanc, Mayur Chardonnay, Rani Rose, Pyaar Pinot Noir, Raj Shiraz, Vijay Cabernet Sauvignon, Methode Traditionelle Blanc de Noirs and the most recent addition, Sonia Sparkling Red. The peacock emblem references the revered national bird of India. Each day, our antique Indian bar is wheeled outdoors, and free wine tastings are offered. We absolutely love sharing our passion for wine, our stories and our experiences with Aussie customers as well as those from all over the world,

Located in the heart of Robe the Woodsoak Wine Cellar Door offers a family friendly (pets too) sun-kissed courtyard where guests love to watch the hive of activity that surrounds Robe whilst sipping their favourite wine.  With a cosy indoor wine lounge and a vintage cocktail caravan bar in the relaxing rear garden, everyone is welcome to indulge in a wine tasting session, a glass or bottle to share with friends, delicious cocktails or takeaway bottles.  With their signature samosa plate and mango chutney, unwind and enjoy this unique cellar door experience. Participate in a game of giant Connect 4 with your children or become engrossed in an adult Giant Jenga competition!  There is something for everyone!

Cheers

Will & Sonia Legoe
