It ended up being one of the most memorable stops on our 3 week vacation. The couple who runs the place could not have been more welcoming or more fun. While they offer grape wines like Chardonnay and Shiraz, I was most interested in trying their kiwi wines. They offer sweet, semi-sweet and dry. I loved all three, but the sweet kept most of the unique kiwi taste. Their strawberry wine was also amazing. When he saw our enthusiasm, our host was only too happy to tell us all about his business, and even to sample one of his secrets to great wine, the water from his spring. We all bought the maximum amount of wine we could bring back to the US, focusing on the strawberry and kiwi. After some visiting and prodding from his delightful wife, our host also let us each try a sip of his raspberry wine. He was completely sold out but had a small personal supply. Let me tell you... ambrosia. It was magic on the tongue. I am watching their website carefully from now on to see if there is any to ship! Whatever it costs to send it to the US, it will be worth it! Our hosts were gracious enough to let us walk the property and take some pictures as well. It was absolutely beautiful. I hope to return someday but until then, this will be one of my most cherished memories of Australia!

All I would say is that I could've eaten another pizza and 2 more glasses of wine if it wasn't for earlier patronage elsewhere in the valley! Will definately b back.

The man behind the cellar door when we were last there was a laid back farmer type (no in your face cellar door salesman here), and when we asked if he had anything to eat he said he'd have a fossick around the kitchen and see what he could find - providing us with some crackers and delicious dips while we enjoyed a glass out on the patio, which was a perfect way to cap off our day in the Valley really.

Coldstream Hills has quite the provenance; the connection to James Halliday is well known, but…read morelesser known is the fact that Halliday still has a house on the edge of the Coldstream property, overlooking this proud and well regarded winery. The Coldstream Hills cellar-door has a fantastic tasting "menu" and great special offers. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable not only about the wines, but the history of the estate. They discuss and share, without rushing. Needless to say, on a recent trip I was so impressed by the experience that I bought a few cases, including one of their Reserve Cab-Sav - a personal favourite. They're known for one of the best Australian chardonnays out there, but everything that comes from Coldstream Hills deserves some attention. Fantastic stuff!

The tasting room sits on a hill with a nice vista. The tasting we did took us from sparkling to sauvignon blanc through the delightful chardonnays, pinot noir, and a surprisingly complex merlot. The staff will take their time and tell you as much as you'd like to hear, or just give you a little information and let you savor the wine at your own pace.
