The property encompassing Silos Estate was established by John Wiley (a Scot) in 1870 who bought the land and began the farming of the property nearly 150 years ago. For a lengthy period of time the property was a dairy, and many of the old farm buildings form part of the current estate operations today.
Since 1984 the property has changed hands several times, with various owners restoring the buildings, planting the vineyard and establishing the restaurant and cellar door.
