About Mac Forbes Winery
A small but respected Yarra Valley winery, Mac Forbes Winery sits in Healesville with a respectable 4.4-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.
One recent guest summed it up: "The Yarra Junction Pino is 10/10"
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.
