David Traeger: Winemaker lists Nagambie home and cellar
A leading winemaker in central Victoria has listed one of the state’s oldest operating cellars, dating back to the 1800s, which could be the perfect spot to start a restaurant, the agent says.
A leading winemaker is selling one of Victoria’s oldest operating cellars in Nagambie.
David Traeger has listed his cellar door at 137-139 High St, where he lived with his family and has sold renowned drops since 1986.
The winemaker has $890,000 price hopes for the 1700sq m property, which includes a cellar understood to be about 150 years old.

A Little Birdie Told Me agent Sammi Russo said Mr Traegar had moved to a house built on his Graytown vineyard.
He had used the Nagambie site to cellar his boutique wine labels, which were offered in limited volumes.
Mr Russo said the historic property had a small number of vines but could better be used as a restaurant or events venue.
The property was used as a steakhouse in the mid-1970s.
“There’s a winery that serves pizza in Seymour and this venue would be ideal for something like that, because it already has a pizza oven overlooking the vines,” Ms Russo said.
“There is a large seating area that fits about 65 patrons and the building could also be used as an accommodation business on the side.”
Ms Russo said Nagambie’s tourism was “going crazy at the moment” and a new brewery and distillery in the area had attracted even more visitors.
