About Medhurst Cellar Door

Tucked off the main Yarra Valley thoroughfares in Gruyere, this serene boutique cellar door pairs estate bottlings with unhurried lawn lounging. Modern architecture and curated sculptures frame hillside vines, creating a calm backdrop for low-key afternoons. Guests settle into indoor tables or sunlit outdoor spots for guided tastings of trophy-winning Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and award-winning rosé. The kitchen leans into seasonal shared set menus and generous grazing boards—think fried oyster mushrooms, beetroot pâté, and local cheeses designed to match every pour.

  • Secluded Sculptural Setting: Set away from busy tour-bus corridors with clean modern architecture, curated vineyard sculptures, and lawn seating.
  • Shared Grazing Menus: Tasting flights accompanied by seasonal shared plates, cheese boards, and standout bites like fried oyster mushrooms.
  • Approachable Estate Tastings: Knowledgeable, down-to-earth cellar door staff lead guided tastings of acclaimed cool-climate estate wines and award-winning rosé.
