Yarrawood Estate: 3.88 out of 5

Wine, Live Music, Cheese, Sunshine + Great Company = Perfect way to spend a Sunday in the Yarra Valley. WINE EXPERIENCE Cellar door: The cellar door is situated inside the restaurant itself and doesn't give you a unique experience per se. Initially the woman was very hap hazard with her wine descriptions and kind of...

Four Pillars: 3.25 out of 5

Soumah Wines: 3.38 out of 5

A hidden gem... We were recommended Soumah by a friend and without this recommendation I don't think we would have put this winery high on our priority list, but a sensational find and a winery we will visit again. WINE EXPERIENCE Cellar door: a male staff member meet us at the door and proceeded to...
