Phillip Island Winery

Cool-climate wines and grazing boards among the vines.

Family-owned winery at Ventnor with a restaurant and a cellar door called The Yards, which doubles as a curated gift store of local and Australian producers. Eat in the atrium or restaurant, or pick up a picnic for the lawn from the provedore, stocked with premium cheeses, charcuterie and artisan crackers.

A guided tasting paddle of six varietals is $20 a head, with the fee discounted $10 when you buy two bottles, $20 for six, and a complimentary bottle at twelve. Wine by the glass is also poured.

Walk-ins are welcome for tastings; larger groups and tour groups are by reservation only. The venue also hosts weddings and sells vouchers online.
