Wine tastings are tailored to each person with different wine experiences to choose from;
A Cellar Door tasting allows you to taste across our current release wines.
The Library tastings include older vintages and special edition wines alongside current releases.
Our Wine and Food experiences match our Library tasting wines with an array of tapas or lighter smaller plates. A total experience. Perfect over lunchtime.
All our wines from current release to limited edition cellar club wines are listed here.
Our Food is based on tapas style/smaller plate offerings.
We have a small kitchen serving lighter fare that work with or without a tasting. Portions are smaller by design, are specifically matched or can try a few things without committing to a full lunch.
We offer tasting options for those not trying wines and can cover allergies in our food menu if not all preferences due to our size.

“An unforgettable experience at Mount Edward Vineyard! The service was absolutely amazing—warm, welcoming, and attentive from start to finish. The wines were exceptional, each with its own unique character and depth. A special mention to Bindy, who was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, making the tasting experience even more enjoyable. If you appreciate top-quality wines and outstanding hospitality, this is a must-visit. Highly recommend!”

“Absolutely amazing cellar door experience. We rode here on e-bikes from Better by Bike, the ride was stunning and this winery has been a great place to relax and try some wine post-ride.”

“Mount Edward Winery, a definite must visit experience! Their wines were diverse, often complex, and vast. Having significant experience in the realm of wine, we were incredibly impressed by Mount Edward’s range. The winery is incredibly picturesque, slightly quirky, and extraordinarily comfortable to relax, enjoy the afternoon and the amazing wine. The staff were amongst the most knowledgeable we met in the region, and shared and contrasted their varietals with immense detail. We will definitely be visiting again. Thank you”
