The Wine Tasting Experience
Winemakers Peter & Tracie Young and staff look forward to welcoming you to our relaxing space for a unique wine tasting experience of six wines, these are guided, sit-down tastings with our winemakers and staff discussing each wine with you, together with our tasting notes for extra information.
The Wine Tasting Experience goes for approx. 45 – 60 minutes with a charge of $10 per person, redeemable on a bottle of wine per person (excluding public holidays). For groups of 8 or more, or wanting a special event at our Cellar Door, please contact us directly for availability either by phone or email - cellardoor@silverspoonestate.com.au
We specialise in creating wines with personality and style utilising the dry-grown (non-irrigated) French and Spanish grape varietals we grow on our Estate and only 15 minutes north of Heathcote town, 35 minutes east of Bendigo, or 55 minutes south of Echuca.
Away from the hustle and bustle, views around our off-grid Cellar Door are spectacular. At times you get to watch the kangaroos jump by or the cockatoos moving through the region. With piped music inside and outside, it is a peaceful, relaxing space to just ‘be’.
There are also other wine flight discoveries to be enjoyed or you may wish to enjoy a wine by the glass, local beer, tea, coffee, locally sourced from Bendigo Brewhouse or soft drink while relaxing with the beautiful views.
We also have a selection freshly prepared hot meals (including gluten friendly and vegetarian options), shared grazing platters, formage boards, desserts, a kids menu, PLUS beer and ZERO Beer for the non wine drinker. See our separate menu in a new tab for more details on what we offer on a weekly basis.
