Wine Cellar & Sommelier Tastings

Nine metres under the lobby, 18,400 bottles at 14°C — and a six-seat tasting room where the sommelier builds flights around your table.

Tastings from A$120 six pours · sommelier-led
The Essentials

A cellar, not a wine list

Australian icons first — Grange, Hill of Grace, Giaconda — then the old world bottles we buy at auction so you don't have to.

Tastings run nightly at 18:00 and 21:00 for six guests maximum. The sommelier reads the room in the first pour; the flight adjusts from there. Cellar-door pricing on bottles to take home.

Tasted a '96 Hill of Grace next to a '15. Worth the airfare alone.

FAQ

About this service

More questions? The full FAQ covers the resort end to end.

No — the flights are built around curiosity, not vocabulary. The sommelier calibrates the whole session to the table.

Yes — the cellar shop sells at cellar-door pricing, and the team ships cases insured anywhere in the world.

Absolutely — the cellar is open to anyone with a booking. Six seats means it sells out, especially Fridays.

Book the six seats

Two sessions nightly — the 21:00 flight is the slow one.
