Best's Wines was established in 1866 and boasts a historic collection of Australia's oldest and most significant vineyards. For more than 150 years, they've been proudly producing world-class wines in Victoria’s Great Western region and as one of Australia’s oldest and continuously family-owned and operated wineries, Best's crafts extraordinary and iconic wines of elegance and longevity. Built in the 1870's, the Cellar Door is the heart of Best’s Wines’ operation. Situated in the picturesque Grampians in the undulating central Victorian countryside between Stawell and Ararat, Best's Wines lies in the historically rich wine-growing region of Great Western. The old red gum slab tasting room is housed in the original stables and showcases old winery equipment, maps of the area, as well as Henry Best’s original journal dating from 1866. Visitors can take a self guided tour of the original 1870s underground cellars, which were hand dug, and view the original Nursery Block plantings, both of which represent a significant piece of Australian wine history. All tasting experiences are paid and they have several to choose from. Wines for tasting and sale include Best’s current range of wines as well as limited-release wines available through cellar door only. Rare and old vintages are often on display and, at times, releases of back vintages are available for purchase. Open 7 days a week, bookings recommended

Great cellar door and quality wines 35min away. Tell them you're from Mount William! My sister-in-law (Victoria) sometimes works here. Great local spot

This review describes Best's to a tea.. "The tasting room, decorated with historic artefacts, was warm and inviting on a cold winter's day. Before tasting the wines in Best's 150th year, we set off to do the self-guided tour of the historic cellars. This was very interesting and informative. The staff were friendly and knowledgable. We especially enjoyed the Bin O Shiraz. There are outdoor tables and chairs where you could enjoy a cheese platter with a glass of wine on a warmer day."
