1. Seville Hill

A characterful Yarra Valley cellar door tucked, 1. Seville Hill sits in Seville with a respectable 4.7-star Google rating. The cellar door is the focus here — a chance to taste through the range with someone who actually makes the wine, in a setting that's been crafted by years of careful viticulture.

Cellar door tastings are typically walk-in friendly, though weekends can be busy. Most venues offer flights of 5-8 wines for a small fee, often refundable against a purchase. The mix here usually leans toward cool-climate varieties — pinot noir, chardonnay, cabernet — that the Yarra Valley is known for.

The venue is notable for wheelchair access and accessibility features. One recent guest summed it up: "ここのワイン最高に美味しい。今までで最高。また行きたいなぁ。景色も本当に素晴らしい。メルボルンの人たちが羨ましいなぁ。。。"

1. Seville Hill opens just 2 days a week — bookings well in advance are strongly advised, particularly for weekend lunch. Cellar door tastings are most enjoyable midweek when crowds are lighter; weekend visits can mean queueing for tastings, particularly during the March-May autumn season.
