In 1927, Giovanni Amadio found a job as a Market Gardener in a fruit orchard at East Marden and never lost a day’s work from there on. During this time Giovanni paid for his wife and son’s passage by ship, to join him in Australia. They arrived 1934 where Giovanni then purchased what became the family home and land at East Marden.

In 1936, Giovanni commercially registered his dry table wine after years of making wine for family and friends. Giovanni sourced his grapes from leased vineyards nearby to make his well crafted wine from his cellar door in Adelaide. His lighter, drier wine style became rapidly popular with word spreading around the state. A successful production began over time with his family cultivating a sincere appreciation for premium winemaking.

In 1949, Giovanni was invited to join the SA Fruit Growers Association. This lead to a continued interest in development of the Market Garden Business. Giovanni’s subsequent plantings, vision for the region and diligent work then allowed for his wine to be sold to multiple retailers and shops all across Adelaide.

In 1985, Gaetano, the third son of Giovanni, demonstrated his fathers dedication by establishing a 150-acre vineyard in Gumeracha, Adelaide Hills. Through his efforts, he succeeded in producing exceptional wines that have graced the tables of restaurants and residences throughout Australia and beyond. His unwavering commitment to creating top-tier wines has earned him a well-deserved reputation for crafting award-winning vintages.

In 2005, success continued to flourish as the next generation of winemaking was embraced by Danniel Amadio. Under his stewardship, the renowned Amadio range of wines was born. Danniel upholds the family tradition by carefully sourcing premium fruit from the family’s Kersbrook vineyards in Adelaide Hills. With a commitment to limited case production for each wine range, he ensures a hands-on approach to maintain high production standards and honor the family legacy.
