Hailing from Geelong in Melbourne’s south-west, landscaper Dale Vine made his TV debut on the Nine Network’s award-winning reality show, The Block, for its fifth season. Competing alongside his wife, Sophie, Dale instantly won over audiences with his laid-back personality and undeniable charm—not to mention his wealth of home renovation knowledge. Tackling one challenging renovation after another.
Considering Dale’s success, it’s no surprise he was invited to return to The Block site the following year for The Block: All Stars, in 2013. In 2014, Dale returned again for The Block’s Fans vs Faves series, where he was paired with his good mate Brad Cranfield.

Having spent then two years on Aussie screens, it was clear Dale was a natural performer and a serious hit with his viewers! Following his return to our screens in Fans vs Faves, Dale received unprecedented media coverage in the press, with TV Week featuring Dale on their cover, under the heading: ‘Our new TV superstar?’. Similarly, Men’s Style magazine named Dale in their annual Men of Influence 2014 list, whilst all the major news outlets—both online and print—have featured interviews with Dale. Prior to this, Dale was also a regular columnist for Bauer Magazines as the resident gardening guru in Homes Plus Magazine.
