The Verdict

To "Cellarbrate": Great outlook with friendly and knowledgeable staff

To "Wine about": Not necessarily a negative, but something to be aware of, is that this cellar door is not situated in a vineyard/winery setting, but rather has great water views

How many bottles did we buy: 2

Suitable for: Couples and Families

The cellar door is actually not on the vineyard, it is located within the Dunalley Waterfront Cafe, making it a bit more accessible and on a paved road

Airconditioning/Fireplace

Plenty of paved parking, but this is also the main eating location for the local area so parking around lunchtime may get a bit full

Modern weatherboard clad building set right on the waterfront in Dunalley, which overlooks the marina and the surrounding bay. Very pretty outlook

Boutique

The cafe is bright and airy and they have elevated the main eating area within the building so that you can make the most of the marina views. The tasting bench is also the food counter so you can check out the lunch menu while you are tasting!
