Greenstone Vineyards

A working Yarra Valley winery with a cellar door that welcomes drop-ins, Greenstone Vineyards sits in Yarra Glen and holds a 4.6-star rating across 124 Google reviews. 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.

Notable features include wheelchair access and accessibility features and a dog-friendly policy for the outdoor area.

Greenstone Vineyards is open five days a week — typically a Wednesday-to-Sunday pattern that works around the region's weekend visitor surge. 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.
