Rooted in Leasingham – The Eaton Family Story

This episode takes us to Leasingham in South Australia’s Clare Valley to meet the Eaton family - grape growers with a legacy spanning over 100 years.

Hear from father and daughter, Robert and Melissa Eaton, who share their unique perspectives on life tied to the same patch of soil. From horse-drawn ploughs to modern tractors, early vine-pruning lessons in the schoolyard to facing brutal frosts, their story is rich with grit, innovation, and a deep love for the land.

Despite the challenges of limited work on their family vineyard, Robert and Melissa show how creativity and determination can pave the way forward - including Melissa’s journey launching her own viticultural services business.

Tune in and start with Robert’s early beginnings.
