Steels Gate Wines

we had lunch today at this amazing restaurant cellar door with my family. we love everything from start to finish and the owner Brad was so lovely - the Pinot Noir was beautiful with the balance of flavour and aromas. shout out to the chef highly recommend and we will be back.

Stopping by Steels Gate Wines for a tasting was an absolute highlight. This isn't your average tasting; they produce their wine in small, local batches, which offers a truly unique, rare, and classy experience. While you do have to pay for the tasting (it is a bit on the higher side) the quality of the wine makes it well worth every dollar and you will understand and appreciate why, so don't cheap out. The atmosphere is fantastic, and the views over the very vines that produced the wine you're drinking are just incredible—it makes the experience feel truly special. You can really feel the quality here, and the outstanding service only adds to it. We would 100% recommend you stop by if you're in the area. 🍷

A magnificent winery for a lovely lunch for couples or friends. Brad is the quintessential host; knowledgeable about all the wines and unbelievably friendly. Huge range of unique wines by the glass, allows you to try different varieties they produce. The food is excellent - the Kingfisher Sashimi was so good we had it as entree, then ordered it again for dessert! It’s a little way out of Healesville, so make sure you have your lifts there and back arranged. A brilliant place with brilliant hosts…and even my wife started smiling….thats how good this place was!

We celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary at this beautiful spot in the Yarra Valley Steels Gate and it couldn’t have been more perfect. We started with the mussels and the burrata with cherry tomatoes both absolutely delicious, with a perfect balance of marinated flavours and subtle spices. For mains, the porterhouse with roasted marrow bone was rich and deeply satisfying, while the fish plate with barley was light, fragrant, and beautifully cooked. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and full of character. The wine pairing elevated the whole experience we chose a Pinot Noir (the barrel-aged 2018, if memory serves us right) and it was simply superb, complementing the food wonderfully. The team here has truly created something memorable. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the region. We’ll definitely be back! The location and the view from the restaurant inside the wine yard is pretty.

Beautiful scenery, lovely staff and a wonderful place to have wine tasting. Came here on my birthday morning and had such a special time! Took away a gorgeous bottle of red that were keeping for a special occasion. Will also be back for more sparkling soon!

Enjoyed a lovely lunch here on the deck - a beautiful way to spend a sunny Spring day looking out over the Yarra Valley. The menu was a nice mix of options, and the food was well prepared - my Wagyu steak was delicious, and my wife's chicken breast was superb. The accompanying 2018 Shiraz was a good recommendation, and the whole meal couldn't be faulted. Our waiter (part-owner) was personable and knowledgeable (as you'd expect).....with just the right amount of 'can-I-talk-to-you-about-the-options' and 'leave-us-alone-now'. A really lovely day, at a venue we'd never heard of. We'll be back...

Excellent lunch once again in beautiful surroundings. It's said you should hire your hospitality staff for personality you can always teach the rest - SG clearly got the memo. Our party of 12 shared a wide range of dishes all of which were enjoyable. If you have a well behaved dog then book the all weather Pinot balcony, ours enjoyed being with us and the attention from friendly staff. Recommended.

You won’t find this winery on any of the tourist maps, which is actually kind of perfect, and yet very popular. We only found it on recommendation from a local at another winery, and my my were we glad we did. Brad was wonderful, and you can see his passion for his wines written on his face. We loved that the selection of wines is about 10-12 options and for the tasting you can pick 5, so my husband and I were able to pick along our personal preferences. Personally the Chardonnay, Coldstone, and Sparkling wine (in that order) were my favorites, but I like a lighter more summery cheese pairing wine. My husband really enjoyed the bolder wines. Point being there’s a variety to satisfy any palate. Food wise, great options. We had the cheese plate with pickled veggies, the Brie was something special. The grapes are growing steps away from the tasting area, which lends to an incredible view from the property. Overall we very very much enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend a visit!
