Shot in the stunning King Valley region, this brand film celebrates all that is Brown Brothers; our home, our wines, and our people.
At the often-unexplored Western Port side of the Mornington Peninsula, you’ll find Pt Leo Estate, a 330-acre winery creating the most remarkable wines such as aromatic Pinot Gris, elegant Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Their menu showcases the best produce the Yarra Valley has to offer, highlighting small, local growers. Dogs on a cellar liquor store leash are also welcome to visit the main gardens but not the terrace or indoors. On a rise above the Maribyrnong River Valley in the Melbourne suburb of Keilor, you’ll find Arundel Farm Estate, a beautiful huge bluestone manor, built in 1868, surrounded by acres of private vineyards. There are a number of wineries in and around Melbourne that are perfect for families with kids.
Then, a self-described “lockdown obsession” led to the ambitious worldwineregions.com – an atlas of 2500 of the world’s wine regions – and, eventually, plans for a shop. Elsewhere on the property, try the Bath House cafe and bar or Amphitheatre Cafe, both of which offer more relaxed, open-air dining experiences. As a glamping guest, I can 100 per cent recommend ordering the tasty wood-fired pizzas to your room for dinner. The Spa Dreaming Centre is aptly named, and hands down my favourite place in the hot springs.
Whether you’re here to sip, savour, or stay a while, we invite you to explore the best of Brown Brothers. For a chance to experience the grandeur of the Scottish brothers’ legacy, stay in the prestigious Lancemore Mansion Hotel Werribee Park, which is located next to the historic Werribee Mansion. This 5-star boutique property offers modern comforts in this 19th-century heritage gem. Dine at Joseph’s Restaurant or, on weekend afternoons, book Lancemore’s delectable high tea. Top off your visit with a facial, massage or full body treatment at L.M.
Founded by Gareth Whitton (ex Dinner by Heston) and Catherine Way in 2020, Tarts Anon’s new flagship space offers up elevated pastries with coffees. The open kitchen encourages punters to view the pastry-making process, and there’s space to dine in, or you can grab a slice to take away. A bonus of the move is that the new, bigger space allows for more experimentation. With the team already working on a buttery laminated pastry, our fingers are crossed for some inventive croissant-tart hybrids over the coming months.
A wine cellar in a terrace house sounds better suited to the leafy back streets of Fitzroy or East Brunswick, but Milton Wine is smack, bang in the middle of the high-priced burbs. We opened in August 2016, with a desire to create a fine wine destination on the North Shore of Sydney, a place where we could share our knowledge and passion with our customers. Whether it be through our popular Saturday tastings or regular in-store masterclasses, we welcome every opportunity to engage with our customers and share our latest discoveries. With plenty to do and see, make the most of your visit to Brown Brothers by booking an immersive winery tour, or decadent food & wine experience.
These days, Cloudwine Cellars is run out of a bricks-and-mortar store. Unlike the former anonymous warehouse, the space is stuffed with character. While you won’t find any Penfolds on the densely packed shelves, there’s more than enough by way of compensation. Plazzer generally finds winemakers early in their lifecycle, stocking small producers who might have found their way onto restaurant wine-lists but not into retail stores. Book a standard or premium wine experience, which is a hosted tasting of six wines, or one that matches wines with handcrafted chocolates or selected bites from the Italian restaurant.
Join us to celebrate the latest release of Brown Brothers' esteemed Patricia collection with a series of unforgettable events this March 2025. From Melbourne’s bay views to Milawa’s starry skies, and Brisbane’s riverside charm to Sydney’s coastal elegance, it’s all about great wine, delicious food, and even better company. From historic tours to acclaimed gardens, fine wine and food to luxurious spa experiences, here are the best things to see, do and discover at Werribee Park. At Cullen, we are dedicated to producing exceptional wines that reflect our deep commitment to sustainability, holistic viticulture, and respect for nature.
For over 130 years, Brown Brothers has crafted wines with curiosity and creativity—blending tradition with innovation to make wines for every palate. Bearing the signature of founder Terry Morris, this range use premium Granite Belt fruit, uniquely distinctive. However, parents with children who love planes should keep an eye on the museum website for open days during school holidays. For those with a love of horses, check the events at the National Equestrian Centre. It's the largest facility of its kind in Victoria, hosting showjumping events and competitions like the prestigious Melbourne 3-Day International Event which winds through the mansion’s gardens.
Every turn in the road unfolds a new vista, the sea sparkling beyond or cattle grazing peacefully below eucalypts. This being a cool climate region, elegant pinot noir and chardonnay are the main things you’ll be drinking, but pinot gris/grigio and shiraz are also possibilities, plus a smattering of sparkling. The dining room stays open all day, offering lunch and dinner menus that also focus on seasonal produce harvested from Peninsula Hot Springs’ own food bowl, designed to boost immunity and overall well-being. As much as there is a focus on health, no need to panic; it’s still a licensed venue. No matter what time of day you sit down, it’s completely normal and expected to be wearing your white bathing robe. Located only 8kms from the CBD in the Adelaide foothills, offering serene views of Penfolds first vineyard and Adelaide city, Magill Estate is one of the world’s few urban single vineyards.
The range produced by Spence Wines includes a natural sparkling rosé, viognier, shiraz, chardonnay, and pinot noir. They offer not one but a range of wine clubs, including Domaine, Village, Museum, and Estate options. The cellar door has been carefully designed to ensure guests have the best experience possible. Many of the features here have been built using recycled materials sourced from around the state. Sharing good wine and food with those you love is one of life’s greatest pleasures, and that’s precisely how the team at this Anakie winery wants you to experience what they have to offer. The cellar door at this five-star winery is open during weekends for tastings, and the history of grape-growing here stretches back to the 1840s.
It’s never been easier to find the perfect present for that hard-to-buy-for person in your life. On the day of your scheduled departure please contact our site team for an update on the airstrip condition. Table bookings are essential to dine in our Restaurant, or simply walk in and order from our Grazing Menu–available 7 days. We love to connect with other people who share our passion for wine.
