About Pimpernel Vineyards
One of the family-run wineries dotting the Yarra Valley, Pimpernel Vineyards sits in Coldstream and holds a 4.8-star rating across 154 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. One recent guest summed it up: "Easily the best winery I have visited in the Yarra Valley. Loved the GSM blend and the Viognier."
Pimpernel Vineyards operates four days a week (often Thursday through Sunday), focused on the peak weekend dining window. 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 Pimpernel Vineyards at 6 Hill Rd, Coldstream VIC 3770, Australia. With bookings on 04 0701 0802. Plus online bookings via the button above. The cellar door is the obvious reason to drop in, but several nearby venues offer lunch within a short drive.
