Like our wines, we do things differently at our cellar door!
We specialise in private guided experiences for lovers of French styles of wine. We offer 2 different private experiences hosted by a member of the de Beaurepaire family in our 1850's sandstone stable.
Alternatively, our cellar door team can host you for a structured wine tasting in the main cellar door, or self-guided flights.
You are also welcome to just enjoy a glass or bottle of our wines with our hampers, grazing platters or seasonal food menu produced locally. Options are listed at the bottom of this page. Snack packs for kids are also available.
Thursday to Saturday: 11am to 5pm. Sunday 11am - 3pm. Closed Monday to Wednesday.

PRIVATE GUIDED WINE EXPERIENCES
VOYAGE DU VIN
An immersive wine adventure
For wine enthusiasts seeking an immersive masterclass covering 10 wines (including our reserves) guided by Richard or Will de Beaurepaire.
Discover the power of 'terroir' which drove our decision to pioneer viticulture at Rylstone in 1998 (a region famous for fine wool) rather than alongside family wineries in the well established Yarra Valley.
Learn how wine is grown in the de Beaurepaire family's Burgundian homeland by vignerons, rather than made (hint - there is no French word for winemaker) and how we approach our wines with the same philosophy.
$50 per person | 60 minutes
2-8 people (a private experience with your group only)
Thursday - Saturday: 12, 2, 4
Sunday: 12, 2

VIGNERON EXPERIENCE
Savour from grape to glass
For fine wine enthusiasts
There is no better way to experience the true De Beaurepaire Wines!
This experience begins with a guided exploration of our vineyard, which supplies all the grapes used to craft our wines. We believe, as the French do, that wine is grown in the vineyard. Find out why, and then experience our terroir's magic in your glass with an in-depth wine masterclass. Hosted by a member of the de Beaurepaire family.
$100 per person | 90 minutes

IMPORTANT TO KNOW
Please book. We have a small team and limited availability each day for our private experiences. If you arrive without a booking, the options available may be limited. To book simply click on BOOK NOW. It shows all the availabilities by day/time for each experience. You can also send an email or call nominating the experience, and requesting your preferred date, time, and number of people (however you may miss your desired spot, so to ensure you get the time and experience you would like - please use the BOOK NOW button).
Please be on time. Please arrive with enough time to check-in and use the toilets before your experience starts. We have a 2.5km driveway from our entrance through our 55ha vineyard to the cellar door. If coming from Rylstone, please allow 10 minutes. If coming from Mudgee, please allow at least 50 minutes. If you are late, and we are busy, you may unfortunately miss out on your experience.
Wine loving adults. Our wine experiences are designed for wine-loving adults. Our lawns offer ample space for children to quietly play while you are inside enjoying a wine experience. Kids Snack Packs are also available to keep them happy whilst you enjoy your tasting experiences. If you would prefer to stay with your children, our Lawn Bar is the perfect option!
No BYO. No outside food or drink is permitted in the grounds of De Beaurepaire Wines.
Groups. Our cellar door does not accept large groups of people (reunions, hens/bucks parties, sporting groups, etc). We like to provide a peaceful environment for wine enthusiasts to savour our wine & the beautiful surroundings. If you would like to organise a larger group for a special occasion - please get in touch with us to discuss or check out our Private Events page.
No tour groups. We do not accept bus or tour groups unless by special arrangement.
Dogs. We have 2 very friendly cellar door dogs that freely roam around our cellar door – it is their home and they are trained not to chase the chickens! If you bring your own well-behaved dog, they are welcome but must be on a lead outside. There is a dog waiting zone with water bowls for your four-legged family members to wait while you are inside. We ask that all fur-parents are mindful of other guests and their enjoyment, especially if your dog tends to bark.
