What do you love most about your region?
We love the fact that some world-class wines are being produced from Victoria’s oldest wine region in Victoria, where the first grapes were planted in 1838. The area has become a wine and gourmet food haven housing a chocolaterie, dairy, awarded restaurants and welcoming cellar doors, with picturesque views and all within a close proximity for an easy day-trip from Melbourne.
What can we expect at your cellar door this summer?
Our cellar door offers picturesque views of the Yarra Valley. Enjoy this outlook from the balcony while tasting the 2017 Estate Shiraz, which won the Trevor Mast Trophy for Best Shiraz at the 2018 Royal Melbourne Wine Awards. If time permits, stay a while and let our staff look after you while you try our new restaurant’s summer menu.
