Two Paddocks started as a way to create a Pinot Noir that his friends and loved ones would enjoy, according to the winery's website. The winery consists of 4 separate vineyards, the first of which was established in 1993. This vast amount of land allows Neill and his team of horticulturists and expert winemakers to create a wide variety of wines that are sold all over the world! He also is able to experience other areas of agriculture, such as livestock farming and lavender cultivation.
Majority of celebrities spring up alcohol businesses out of the blue - However, Two Paddocks has a long history. Neill's winery has been in operation for over 30 years, but his family has been involved in the alcohol industry even longer.
According to Food & Wine, Neill's family history in the wine industry spans over 150 years!
