Perched in the foothills of Christmas Hills just outside Yarra Glen, Greenstone Vineyards is a boutique winery with a unique dual-regional story. Originally founded in Heathcote and later expanded into the Yarra Valley with the acquisition of the former Sticks Winery in 2015, Greenstone now draws from two distinct terroirs—each contributing its own character to the estate’s expressive, small-batch wines.

The Yarra Valley vineyard spans over 33 hectares and is planted to Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot. These cool-climate varietals thrive in the region’s ancient, complex soils and long growing season, producing wines of elegance, purity, and layered complexity. From the Heathcote site, Shiraz and Sangiovese bring richness and depth, adding a bold counterpoint to the Yarra Valley’s finesse.

The cellar door, located at 179 Glenview Road, is open Thursday to Monday from 10am to 5pm. Set against sweeping views of the Yarra Valley and the Great Dividing Ranges, it offers a relaxed, scenic tasting experience. Guests can enjoy a casual flight or a more structured tasting, with most wines exclusive to the cellar door. Cheese and antipasto platters are available until 3:30pm, and in the warmer months, Sunday Sessions feature live music on the lawn from 1–4pm.

Greenstone’s winemaking philosophy centres on site expression and minimal intervention. Wines are crafted to reflect the season and soil from which they’re grown—whether it’s a taut, mineral Chardonnay from the Yarra or a spicy, structured Shiraz from Heathcote. The result is a portfolio that’s both regionally distinctive and stylistically cohesive.

With its panoramic deck, welcoming team, and dual-regional range, Greenstone Vineyards offers a cellar door experience that’s as thoughtful as it is picturesque. Whether you’re a local wine lover or a day-tripper from Melbourne, it’s a must-visit for those seeking handcrafted wines and a deeper connection to place.
