If you love your wine wicked and without the wankery, it’s worth planning a weekend wine adventure on the Moorabool Valley Taste Trail (MVTT).
Taste your way through any of a dozen or so cellar doors and get to meet real people behind the wine brands in the fast-growing Moorabool Valley wine region.

Small, family-owned wineries dominate. Most weekends you’ll find growers, winemakers, family producers and boutique operators on hand ready to chat about the challenges and joys of this tough cool climate region. They have a couple of things (at least) in common: a genuine love for what they do and a distinct lack of wankery. Expect big warm welcomes, loads of belly laughs and secret-story moments.

Some cellar doors swing open seven days a week, others are more niche and only open to the public the first Sunday of the month (or by appointment). Grab an MVTT map at Visitor Information Centres or any of the MVTT businesses and plan yourself a day or two of grape expectations.
