Book Direct with the Owner at Kellybrook Winery, Kelly Brothers Cider & Riders Brew Co. with Inverell Accommodation in Wonga Park to get the best deal.
Kellybrook Winery & Kelly Brothers Cider was established by the Kelly family in 1969, set in a secluded little valley only 35 kilometres from Melbourne's city centre. The closest Yarra Valley winery to Melbourne.
Kellybrook's rolling hills are a pretty backdrop to the vineyard and give a lovely rural feel.
Kellybrook produces an extensive range of award-winning table wines and specialises in hand-disgorged sparkling wines, using the traditional French method. Recent expansion into beer brewing has lead to Riders Brew Co. being established by the Kelly Brothers. The brewery focuses on expressive high quality small batch beers.
Exceptional apple and pear ciders are also made on the property, including the unique Champagne Cider, a favourite in the cellar door, and apple brandy, distilled in the tiny pot still.
Tastings and sales are conducted by the winemakers in the cellar door, providing a very authentic experience. An ideal first or last stop when travelling to the Yarra Valley from Melbourne.
The cellar door features a vine-covered terrace that overlooks the vineyard and gardens as well as polished timber floorboards and a roaring open fire in winter. Tasting plates offer seasonal and local produce, including some from the Kellybrook kitchen garden.
Enjoy a wine or cider or linger over a Cheese board on the terrace or under the magnificent 120 year-old oak tree.
Keep an eye out for the Kellybrook Cider Festival held in May annually.
