The Handpicked Cellar Door (located on the corner of Kensington and Outram Streets) will allow guests to experience wines from around Australia and the world in one central place, with the winery not limiting itself to one location or style, but instead ‘hand picking’ the world’s best regions and varietals. Think of a romantic journey to Margaret River for a drop of cabernet, a sip of chardonnay from the Yarra Valley before heading overseas for a taste of Pinot from New Zealand’s Central Otago, all in one afternoon.

In line with the winery’s ethos, the exquisitely designed exposed-brick warehouse, formerly a CUB brewery workshop over 300 square metres, will offer a different approach to the traditional cellar door experience in both look and attitude, providing a destination for those wanting to understand the world of wine, winemaking and the good times that come with enjoying it.

The Handpicked Cellar Door aims to educate as well as entertain visitors with interactive iPads, a series of tastings at the Sensory Bar, and for those wanting a more in-depth approach, 30-minute tutored tastings at the Experience Bar.
