Cellar Door
Information
We are a boutique wine label from the heart of the Adelaide Hills that is completely family-owned and uses all estate-grown grapes, grown by 5th-generation viticulturist Simon Tolley. Unique aspects of our cellar door include that it’s located in the middle of our vineyard, we are dog-friendly, and Simon is often present to perform tastings himself. As we are an intimate cellar door, we kindly request people to book. But if you find yourself in our neck of the woods, definitely come say g’day. The cellar door, set in a stylish converted shed with sweeping vineyard views, offers relaxed tastings and local produce pairings, making it a standout destination in the region.
Try our Wine X Popcorn experience, pairing four of our premium wines with unique popcorn flavours. A playful and delicious way to learn about wine and food pairing.
Wine flights available for relaxed tastings, with the cost redeemable with any three bottles purchased.
