Visit our young but historic estate to discover Australian wines crafted with a French sensibility at our elegant cellar door.
Set amongst our rolling vineyards, we provide a window to a working winery, welcoming hospitality and a variety of options for tasting experiences - either surrounded by ageing wine barrels, in our private tasting room or accompanied with food from our classic French L’Apéro menu
We love to share the spoils of our home in the Yarra Valley and have crafted a collection of new tasting experiences for you to discover what we do, and how.

L'Assiette Dining (Thursday - Sunday)
Drink like the French - with food & friends
On a French table, wine has always had a pivotal role. Beyond just accompanying a meal, wine accentuates dishes, while a dish can coax the textures and flavours out of wine. Let’s face it—a Cabernet matched to steak frites, Pinot Noir with Duck, Chardonnay and roast chicken… is a symbiotic relationship where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
At Dominique Portet, we share this philosophy and love seeing our wines served with the same sense of conviviality. We offer a choice of classic French dishes to showcase our estate and vineyards. Santé et Bon appetit!
L'APÉRO DINING (MONDAY - WEDNESDAY)
Like Italy’s Aperitivo, L’Apero is based on the French ritual of l’Aperitif, which combines drinks, nibbles and friends. Taste our wines with a selection of small plates to share, graze on, catch up and relax.
7 people maximum per booking. 11.00am – 4.00pm.
Please note a 15% surcharge applies on public holidays and 7.5% surcharge applies on weekends.
Groups & Gatherings
When size matters, our cellar door also has a space to accommodate groups of various sizes with a private area set amongst barrels and accompanying food options. We have an array of mouthwatering morsels to make the most convivial of gatherings and create a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere.
Please get in touch with the Winery to discuss and arrange.

*Council regulations stipulate that due to the size of the estate, dining can only be accessed as part of a cellar-door wine experience. The only license we can be granted, states that patrons must do a curated wine tasting to order food.
Eh oui [Gallic shrug] ! We appreciate your understanding, merci.
