We have been looking forward to opening our doors again & seeing many familiar faces – it’s been too long between drinks!! (Lets be honest we’ve all still been doing our fair share of drinking ) We have been busy during the closure making a few changes to our Cellar Door & we’ll be excited to share them with you. We thought it might be worth explaining a little about what we are, and aren’t allowed to do to help lessen any confusion with bookings for now: Dropping in for take home wine sales is absolutely allowed & always appreciated. We have some great take home specials on offer for you. We are allowed to have a maximum of 20 people per enclosed space…

Unfortunately our little Cellar Door is currently on hold until further notice due to COVID-19 and the current restrictions to trade. A huge thank you to all that came through over the last weekend of trade to stock up and show your support, we truly love the community we live & breath in. To continue to enjoy PR wine at home simply order online: www.paynesrise.com.au/shop/ Or phone 0419 599 016 to arrange a time to swing past and pick it up. Stay safe & take care.

            Shedfest is an annual winery festival held on the second weekend of October, it is a great time to visit the Yarra Valley and enjoy everything on offer.

If your type of festival is one where you can take it easy, taste local produce, experience the charm of small vineyards, be captivated by stunning views, chat to the owners and winemakers, tap your toes to some fine tunes, play pétanque, take croquet lessons, lawn games and watch the kids have fun, all while sipping delightful wines… then Shedfest Wine Festival is for you….
