Cellar Door

Visitors are welcome to our cellar door. Open 11am-5pm Friday - Sunday.

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.

Food

While we don't have a restaurant, we do offer a curated selection of share plates and snacks designed to complement our wines. Our menu showcases produce from some of our favourite local artisans, including Sardine Cantina, Paynesville Pantry and Seasalt Sourdough.

Whether you're after a few bites alongside a tasting or looking to build your own spread to share with friends, the menu offers a range of local cheeses, charcuterie, conservas and accompaniments available throughout the day at the cellar door.

Not a wine drinker? We also stock a selection of local craft beers, ciders and non-alcoholic options, so there's something for everyone to enjoy.

Deck

(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.

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.
