Once thawed, make your way to one of the many tasting counters and work your way through the epic list. I stuck to the dryer bubbles and then made my way in to red land, getting the chance to try a back vintage Durif which I subsequently bought a bottle of. Why take a bottle home and risk my dodgy cellaring options (in a box under my bed) when I can just pay an extra $20 on the current vintage price and get something with 10 years of age on it already? Brown Brothers is huge and while I don't necessarily enjoy a lot of their "mainstream" drops (the stuff that is made to fly off the shelves at every single bottle-o across the country) some of their more experimental grape styles are bangin'. The prosecco and sparkling are some of the best produced in Australia. I admire the focus on family and tradition here and like that even for a short visit I'm made to feel like I'm part of that extended family by the warm and welcoming staff.

Fantastic biodynamic winery in Beechworth…read more The winery makes all their wines onsite, using only their own grapes from the cellar door site as well as another site they own, with clear labels on where the grapes are from. Lovely lady at the cellar door - very friendly, helpful and informative. Great range of wines with a range of prices so definitely accessible. Bought a few too many bottles but still couldn't look past the Golden dessert wine. Worth the visit - not many cellar doors in Beechworth that are open without appointments - it won't disappoint!
