Northern Lodge is one of Australia’s finest educational stock breeding properties. Our 320-hectare farm in the stunning foothills of Victoria's Great Dividing Range is just 40 minutes north of Melbourne.

As a student studying Viticulture courses and Agriculture courses you will have the opportunity to apply your learning in a real-life setting. 

From grape to glass with viticulture

Our three-hectare vineyard at Growling Frog Golf Course was first planted by Melbourne students in 2004. The facility provides an excellent, real-world learning environment for Melbourne Polytechnic Viticulture students.

The vineyard produces Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. We bottled our first vintage in 2006 and have produced many award-winning wines since.

Agriculture and farming courses in Melbourne's north

Agricultural studies at Northern Lodge form the practical aspects of training in our Agriculture courses. Learn modern farming techniques on our working farm.
