History of the Fiumara Family

Pasquale (Pat) Fiumara was born in 1918 in San Ferdinando, Reggio Calabria, Italy. Searching for a better life for his family, he came to Australia leaving behind wife, Angela and children. By 1953 Pat had become a share farmer on an orchard near Leeton. In 1955 he returned to Italy and 1956 saw the family together again in Australia. By 1958 Angela was selling their produce from a small cart on the property. The cart progressed to a stall, becoming a fruit shop and milk bar and today the Golden Apple Super Store employs around 100 staff. Each of the seven sons manage different sections of the business. Pat Fiumara planted the first vines in 1972. In 1982 Robert became winemaker for Lillypilly Estate. By 2019 Robert has won over 1,500 awards for his wines.
