The Verdict
To "Cellarbrate": Friendly & knowledgeable cellar door staff member, cellar door situated in the town of Milthorpe which is a pretty little town to wander around To "Wine about": Limited opening times, so plan ahead How many bottles did we buy: 2 Suitable for: Couples, Families and Small Groups Visited July 2016 (weekend) Note: We understand that as of January 2018 this cellar door has now moved location to across the road, is open 7 days a week from 11am to 5pm, serves platters throughout the course of the day with an on premise license so you can enjoy a glass of wine and has set up a tapas style wine bar that is open until 9pm every Saturday night. These enhancements have not been reflected in our current review, however, we look forward to visiting again and updating our review in due course. |
