About Thick as Thieves
One of the family-run wineries dotting the Yarra Valley, Thick as Thieves sits in Healesville with a respectable 4.8-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.
Thick as Thieves 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.
