The entry level range has a few options that taste well beyond what the price tag signifies, and they just keep getting better from there. Plus, they have a warehouse sale a few times a year which is full of locals who know they're onto a bargain. Follow their lead if you see this on when you pop in - you can have a tasting down there too. Bonus.

Delicious wine, lovely service and a beautiful space. Warehouse sale is amazing value. Worth a…read morevisit!

One of the women working the bar took a few minutes out to explain about their varietals. I recommend the tasting menu. The whole table needs to do it but its the best way to try a little bit of everything. If you want to go ala carte I recommend the flatbread pizzas! For wines try the sparkling blanc de blanc!

They then called the day before the event and pulled the rug out from under us saying a wedding had booked out the entire venue, we'd been moved and drinks post could no longer happen. We tried to be civil and find a solution. There was no explanation for how they forgot there was a wedding on, not even an apology from Greg. The last part is what really kills me. If you work with this guy and think he's a twat, please take this as confirmation - your view is correct.

They're all very decent drops too, no real slouch to be found among them. That we left with a Rosé says something, considering that's usually one of our least favourite types of wine. Been here twice and always received warm cellar door service too, which means we'll probably keep coming back. Keen to try the accompanying restaurant (just changed hands) one day too.

We heard conflicting tales of the name of this place - one was that the winemaker long held a dream…read moreto open a winery "one day" and so when that day came, the name sorted itself out. The second was simply, that they are only open one day a week: Sunday. One day 12-5pm, but they put on a bit of a show about it - music, paella - and draw in the crowds accordingly (might be tough going getting a park after 2pm). The place itself is magnificent - all re-purposed timber and cool/kooky touches, with artworks on display all around. Outside you have stunning vineyard views. Only loses a star because as a cellar door experience itself, it's kind of lacking. We were served by ring-in staff who had no idea about the wine and the pours were so stingy (for $5pp) you had to double check they had poured at all. Ignoring that though, it's the p;lace to be for a Sunday Session down Bellarine way and we'll be back for sure.

Available by appointment only, visiting their cellar door you get a great tour of their little set up. It's enough to inspire you to pick up tools and create your own small operation ... one day. You then sit down with the winemaker who will happily chat about their history and open a bottle for you to sip and talk about. His passion is clear, and once you taste the wine you can see why he is so proud: this is one of the best $25 bottles you'll likely have. It's crazy well priced for the quality, and surely unlikely to stay that way for long.
