Misty Lane Vineyard

A characterful Yarra Valley cellar door tucked, Misty Lane Vineyard sits in Coldstream with a respectable 5-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: "Lovely service. Very clean suite. Beautiful surrounds. Beautiful pool area. Helpful host but not in your face. So peaceful and serene. Recommend if you want a quiet escape."

Misty Lane Vineyard operates 7 days a week, giving plenty of options for fitting it into a Yarra Valley itinerary. 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.

You'll find Misty Lane Vineyard at 52 Boundary Rd, Coldstream VIC 3770, Australia. The cellar door is the obvious reason to drop in, but several nearby venues offer lunch within a short drive.
