Moorabool Ridge

Our group had a fantastic time at Moorabool Ridge. They were extremely accomodating, especially since I had booked the wrong day 😅

Our group of 12 bought at least three bottles of wine home each. We were very impressed with all of the wines and thought they were great value. We will definitely be back again 🙂

Thank you!!

I contacted ahead & my 2 dogs and I were warmly welcomed by Rufus & his humans. I wanted to source local wines & produce, as Christmas gifts and was well rewarded. Preservative free jams, chutneys & relishes, fresh water & balsamic soaked olives & wines sold by the vigneron and his family. The aspect of the Cellar Door is as luscious as the 2017 & 2019 vintage wines ranging from a definitive cold climate Sauvignon Blanc to straight Shiraz or Shiraz blends. Buy 1 dozen, get 1 bottle free - perfect for Christmas giving.

Local to us and we are embarrassed that we drive past twice a day. All that changed today with a stunning flight of wine tasting. Every wine is a winner for a different reason and we couldn't leave without a mixed box of Oscar and Sophia. We'll be back soon with some friends and family for a feed too. Lovely people, amazing setting and a great regional secret. Thank you for the great afternoon.

What a beautiful wine tasting experience!

Thank you to Tim and Jo (and to Rufus and Nitro -their adorable dogs) for being such wonderful hosts. Every wine we tasted was delicious, I just had to get one bottle of each!

We will definitely be back again soon! Highly recommend this spot to anyone who wants a fun, relaxing, delectable wine tasting experience. :)

We had a relaxing birthday celebration here. The setting was beautiful, the roses made a lovely backdrop for photos. The wine tasting was spread out over the afternoon along with the food which resulted in us staggering out carrying our favourite wines. The Cab Franc was a favourite with us all. The small children spent the afternoon running and playing in between platters of food. A bit of a drive but well worth the trip. Be prepared not to rush, sit back, relax and enjoy the wine and scenery.

The scenery is breathtaking. Felt like green Swiss Alps. Lovingly Greeted by a friendly dog who wants to play fetch all the time.
Wine tasting is a really unique experience here. Family winery with names of children and Granny ❤ that.
Winery with a clean conscience and no preservatives. And you can feel the taste difference. Reminded me of Swan valley Boutique wine experience.
Loved it and is going to be the first of many trips ahead.

Great wine set amongst the most beautiful scenery, topped off with a genuine and kind host (and dog). I visited here with a group of girls last Saturday and loved it. Tim has a great knack for making wine and sharing his love for the whole process, evidenced by him naming the wines after his children. If you love a homely, genuine vibe in a setting where the owner helps you to connect with the land's history and unique wine varieties - give this place a go. The quality of the wine is top notch, isn't mass produced and is affordably priced!

If I could give more stars I would. Finally a winery that set the benchmark for me in Australia. Beautify scenery, cosy and serene set up, beautiful wines and the one that topped it all, the host Jo. She explained the stories behind each type, how they are made and what makes them unique. They also have homemade jams, jellies and chutneys that added colour to the whole experience. The wine tasting was generous with a wide variety of wines and reasonably priced. We were also welcomed by their two dogs from the car park to the winery. Didn't have a commercial touristy geared vibe at all, but a truly boutique winery with a warm and friendly welcome. Can spend the entire day there looking at the scenery with wine and cheese. Some wineries I have been to follow similar checklists but not all of them can take your breath away like Moorabool Ridge.

Moorabool ridge winery is a fabulous spot for a light lunch and a tasting, and of course a glass of wine . Hidden away in very scenic valley between ballarat and geelong , With the sound of the stream below ,it’s a great destination . You must try the olive oil/olives as well...Tim and family are very receptive. I recently celebrated my birthday there The food was fantastic,it was very relaxing , l would highly recommend ,
Thanks guys

Brilliant hidden little gem of a winery tucked away from the busy hwy. Vellarfoor is perched om top of the ridge overlooking the river and vi eyarf. Stunning vista views. Well worth a visit! Jo at the cellardoor gave us personalised tasting of their beautiful boutique style wines with lovely colour and intensity. Fabulous hidden little gem with wonderful personal touch. Thank you.

A hidden gem. Not often that every wine is very good. The semillon blew my mind. Do yourself a favour and go find it but make sure you give yourself time to take in the charm and ambience plus a glass or two. Came away with a case.

A delightful little find
Jo was a sweet and informative host.
The setting is simply stunning.
We could spend all day here.
In fact I dare say we will go back to do just that.

Lovely place, great selection of wines to sample.

Great wine great spot great hosts.
Make this winery a must !!!

Great location, wine and service

Thank you Jo for warm welcome and all the informations you give about the good and cheap wines we enjoyed!

Nice owner winemaker - worth going

If they conduct business as horrible as the guy driving the Ute that has their company's logo on it, then I suggest going to another place. The man has absolutely no awareness while driving and nearly hit me while I was walking on the PEDESTRIAN crossing at Woolworths Geelong West, and kept on driving. Disgusting and not a good look for the business.
