Cellar Door — Restaurant in Melbourne

I would rate this 0 star, but will give it a generous 2 star because the wine was okay.

We visited this vineyard with the aim of having a nice and relaxing wine tasting.

Usually if a person pays, they are offered seats, however, we were told to stand at the small cramped counter to taste the wine and only if we bought food could we sit down. There were open tables.

We paid for our wine tasting and tasted the wine, while standing at the tiny counter. Waiters were bumping into us and reaching over us to get glasses, wines, etc... We felt very uncomfortable, so we decided to leave and not eat there.

We were very disappointed in the experience and I do not recommend visiting this vineyard purely based on service.

Some advice is that if customers drive all the way to visit your restaurant/vineyard, have more seating or a larger designated area for certain activities. It's not only about the wine, but it's about the overall experience. Create a memorable experience for customers and they will highly recommend you. It's that...

Chanced upon this place for lunch as most of the restaurants were closed. Beautiful views and great atmosphere. Everything we ate was delicious, the Korean prawns, sliders and tacos. That had some toys for kids, which was nice. Kept my 5 year old entertained. We decided to do wine tasting as well, which was good. They gave my kid an activity book while we enjoyed the wine. The whole experience was close to perfect. The only problem was the staff there. The ladies seem to be quite unfriendly. They really need to work on that. Also, there was no children’s cutlery. For wine tasting, we had to move instead. Other places served the wine outside as well. The ambience instead was terrible. While I recommend visiting, I hope they can improve...

This place is very nice for the view, the staff is friendly but the young staff is not that kind.

Wine is okay, but nothing special, the tasting is free, which is good, the only wine that I'll recommend is the merlot.

Charles, the guy who conducts the tasting, is a particular fella. He doesn't explain more than was is written in the menu, but it's a free tasting, so not much complain in that are.

But I'll recommend this place for the view.

For breakfast, the scones...
