About Thousand Candles
One of the family-run wineries dotting the Yarra Valley, Thousand Candles 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.
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 Thousand Candles at 159 Killara Rd, Gruyere VIC 3770, Australia. With bookings on 04 1348 0462. And full menu details on the venue's website. The cellar door is the obvious reason to drop in, but several nearby venues offer lunch within a short drive.
