This winery sits across a spectacular 58-hectare vineyard in Coldstream, nestled within the cool-climate region of the Yarra Valley. Grape growing on the historic estate dates to 1860, and today the third and fourth generations of the Napoleone family own and farm the land.

Mike and Claire have created this wonderful wine shop and bar, great for local vino and further afield and tastings Friday night usually with a food van out back
