Cellar Door
Visitors are welcome to our cellar door. Currently open 11am-5pm everyday until 26 January 2025.
Our Cellar Door is part of the winery building and is perched above the Mitchell River Valley. From the deck you can see the vineyard, the limestone escarpment, and the sweeping views of the valley below.
For groups larger than 8, bookings are essential to ensure your visit is tailored to your needs. Please email us to arrange your visit.
Please note bookings are only open 3 months in advance.
Wine Tastings
We offer two types of wine tastings to suit your preferences:
- Individual Wine Flight: A casual experience where you can enjoy a flight of 3 wines for $20. This is ideal if your group can’t come to a consensus, allowing each person to have a personalised tasting experience.
- Group Tasting Experience: For a more formal or traditional tasting, select any 6 wines from our range for $20 per person. This option is designed for groups of up to 8 people and provides an immersive experience at your own pace. For larger groups, please contact the cellar door.
Wine tastings are available both in the Tasting Room and on the deck. All our wines are available for you to choose from.
Tasting Room
We’re here to help you feel at home, whether you’re looking for a relaxed afternoon or a chance to explore something new.
Light snacks are available to complement your experience, and our friendly team is always on hand to make your visit special. Given the limited space bookings inside are limited to 1 hour.

(weather permitting)
The deck is the best place to enjoy a wine tasting or a casual drink and a tasting board. The sweeping views of the vineyard, escarpment and Mitchell River Valley are hard to beat. Umbrellas offer some cover, but the Gippsland weather can be unpredictable, so warm jackets can come in handy. Please be aware if the weather is unsuitable alternative indoor seating may not be available.
Dogs welcome on the deck area!
Lawn
There is lawn rolling down the west side of the cellar door that is great for larger groups and walk in guests. Grab a rug and some cushions and relax with a glass of wine and a platter then enjoy a picnic style afternoon sun.
We don't take bookings on the lawn, it's all on a first come basis. There is not a lot of shade there either, we have sunscreen but we would recommend you also bring a hat.
Food
We don’t have a restaurant, but we do have two lovely food platters available that are well-matched to our wines and perfect for sharing between two.
The platters are a collaboration with some of our favourite neighbouring foodies and are 100% local. These are set platters with contributions from Sardine Eatery + Bar, Northern Ground, The Long Paddock, Paynesville Pantry & Seasalt Sourdough and can be enjoyed all day at the cellar door. We also stock a range of local craft beers.
Group Bookings
For groups larger than 8 people, we offer a tailored experience to ensure everyone has enough space to relax and enjoy their time. A charge of $35 per person applies, which includes room allocation, food for the group, and a first drink.
For bookings of more than 8 people—including buses—please contact the cellar door directly via email at info@lightfootwines.com.
