About De Bortoli Wines Yarra Valley Cellar Door and Restaurant

Dixons Creek slopes roll straight up to the terrace—an easy setup for long afternoons in the Yarra Valley. Downstairs, staff pace pours against bites of local cheese, demonstrating how fat and acid shift the palate before passing your wine preferences upstairs. Return visitors point to the quail porchetta and tagliatelle tossed in wild boar ragù, finishing on glasses of botrytis Semillon beside limoncello mousse.

  • Guided Wine & Cheese Tastings: Staff guide guests through structured tasting flights, pairing estate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with local cheeses to demonstrate flavour shifts.
  • Italian Estate Dining: Upstairs dining pairs cellar selections with regional Italian plates like quail porchetta and fresh tagliatelle with wild boar ragù.
  • Dog-Friendly Terrace Views: Outdoor terraces welcome dogs and families looking to relax over glasses of wine with unobstructed vineyard views.

  • Hands-On Pinot Noir Blending and Bottling

    Guided workshops invite guests into the winemaking craft by measuring ratios and hand-crafting a customized vintage to bottle and take home.

Beyond the menu

Thoughtful hospitality gestures that elevate an afternoon in Dixons Creek—book your cellar door tasting and dining experience.

  • Hands-On Pinot Noir Blending & Bottling

    Guests step into the vintner role by measuring and mixing ratios across three different wines using measuring cylinders, ultimately corking and taking home a bespoke bottle of their own blend.

  • Cellar-to-Table Menu Personalization

    Staff bridge the tasting room and dining room seamlessly: preferences identified during your cellar door tasting are passed directly upstairs so table servers can tailor meal and wine pairings without generic scripts.

  • Guided Palate Transformation Pairings

    Rather than serving an unaccompanied cheese plate, educators guide visitors through sequential tasting technique—a sip of wine, a bite of cheese, then another sip—to demonstrate how flavours transform on the palate.

  • Dedicated Toddler Tasting Accommodations

    To ensure parents can relax through a cellar flight, staff proactively provide colouring activities and patient attention for visiting toddlers.

Before you head over

Essential planning tips to help you pace your tasting, bring the entire family, and lock in your reservation for the complete estate experience.

  • Leave Breathing Room Between Tasting and Lunch

    Avoid scheduling tight itineraries between your tasting and restaurant reservation. Rushing through the cellar door cuts short the deliberate sip-bite-sip pairing technique and leaves little time for staff to communicate your wine preferences upstairs.

  • Time Family Tastings for Quiet Weekday Mornings

    If visiting with young children, plan your tasting for weekday mornings around 10am. Quieter cellar door hours allow staff to set out colouring sheets and cater patiently to toddlers while you focus on the flight.

  • Request Outdoor Seating When Visiting with Dogs

    To visit with four-legged companions, request outdoor tables on the terrace. The grounds accommodate dogs comfortably alongside multi-course dining, so book your table in advance to secure the ideal view.
