Wine

In our store we represent winemakers who don’t have their own cellar door facilities. The wines are made in small quantities, with a great deal of passion and knowledge by some of the finest winemakers in the Yarra Valley. Customers have an opportunity to discover these wines that are not easily found outside of the Yarra Valley.

Wines can be purchased by the glass (on rotation) or by the bottle to accompany our delicious cheeses and fine produce in our Cheese Shop (until 4:30pm).

Please note:  We are only licensed to serve alcohol purchased in our store, so please, no BYO.

Eat in

Please note, we do not take table bookings or have outside seating, but simply try your luck for a seat and enjoy an extraordinary view of the Yarra Valley.

We have a few tables available for customers to share and enjoy our popular cheese plates that are accompanied by fresh local breads. To complement these cheese plates, locally farmed smoked trout and regionally made charcuterie items such as terrines, quality smallgoods and duck pâté to name a few. There is also quince paste, spiced figs, cornichons, and local olives – the list goes on.

Each plate can be accompanied by local fresh breads and any of the above mentioned charcuterie and accompanying items are also available for purchase to take home. Local wine is available by the glass, as are the bottled beers and ciders from nearby breweries.

The coffee machine is always on serving great coffee and locally produced teas to go with a small selection of sweet treats.
