Client Overview
Capogrecco Winery Estate is a family-owned boutique winery established in 1976, with a rich heritage of winemaking that traces back six generations to Calabria, Italy.
Located in the heart of the Murray Darling region, the estate produces traditional, small-batch wines using time-honoured techniques—offering visitors an authentic and intimate cellar door experience.
The Challenge

Key challenges included:
- No digital or website presence
- Minimal storytelling around heritage, family, and winemaking tradition
- Limited structure to guide users through products and experiences
- Underutilised opportunity for online sales and enquiries
- No strong SEO foundation to support tourism and regional discovery
