Choosing a Tasting Experience

Murrumbateman holds four of the five group tastings, where four cellar doors take bookings, while Wamboin offers a single boutique option with weekend tours. Head count, interest in a tour and the need for a meal on site will steer the choice.

Murrumbateman against Wamboin for a tasting:

  • Sapling Yard Wines in Wamboin runs weekend tastings plus booked behind-the-scenes tours, and private sessions outside regular hours.
  • Murrumbateman's Clonakilla charges nothing for a hosted pour for tables of eight or fewer.
  • Shaw Estate (Murrumbateman) runs seated, staff-led flights from $10 per person, with a restaurant on the property.
  • Dionysus Winery (Murrumbateman) guides groups of seven through 20, with pairings of chocolate or cheese.
  • Eden Road Wines (Murrumbateman) is from $20 per person for a small table, and the fee is credited if you buy.

Picking a cellar door by group size

  • A table of eight at most: either of the two smaller-group cellar doors.
  • Close to 20 people: the guided format at Dionysus.
  • A double-figure group after privacy: Shaw Estate, which may charge extra for it.
  • A group wanting its own time slot: a private tasting at Sapling Yard Wines.

Tours, food and extras between the two areas

  • Only Sapling Yard lists a winery tour, so Wamboin suits groups curious about winemaking.
  • Lunch is easiest at Shaw Estate, while Sapling Yard's wine room offers nibbles.
  • At Clonakilla and Eden Road, eat before or after, as neither runs a kitchen.
  • Adults at Dionysus can add an hour in the barrel room with the winemaker.
