Vineyard Manager
Dave Dayboll
At Skye Chase Estate Winery, our journey from vine to glass begins with the vision and expertise of our Vineyard Manager, Dave Dayboll our “Guardian of the Vines”. With a passion for crafting world-class fruit and a keen eye for detail, Dave ensures every grape reflects our unique terroir and unwavering dedication to quality.
This historic vineyard, rich with legacy, is taking on a vibrant new life under Dave’s guidance. While nurturing the character and strength of our old vines, Dave is also championing the evolution of the vineyard with the addition of new varietals and vines. This careful balance of honoring the past and embracing the future promises an exciting potential for Skye Chase wines, rooted in tradition yet soaring to new heights. Each row of vines is a promise of excellence, meticulously tended to reflect the bold and vibrant spirit of Skye Chase.
When not walking the rows or inspecting the fruit, you’ll find Dave chasing thrills and balance. Whether riding his Harley through scenic backroads or pushing limits at the gym, his adventurous spirit echoes the energy and elegance of Skye Chase itself.
Under Dave’s care, the vineyard isn’t just a place; it’s a living, evolving story—one that culminates in every extraordinary bottle of wine. At Skye Chase, the vines tell a story of renewal, tradition, and boundless potential, and Dave is the storyteller.
