Maude Wines Tasting Room
A small cellar door on Golf Course Road pouring Maude wines by the glass, the bottle or as a guided tasting.
Maude runs a compact tasting room open Thursday to Sunday afternoons. The Tasting Bench is a guided run through the day's wines, taking about 45 minutes, and the fee is waived if you buy two bottles. The Terrace is the more relaxed option, with wines by the glass and food including their cheeseboard. The room is small, so booking is recommended.

Visiting from Sundale
Maude pours at 76 Golf Course Road, an easy run in from the park towards town. The tasting room is open Thursday to Sunday from midday to 5pm, so it suits the back half of the week. If your stay is Monday to Wednesday, put one of the other cellar doors on the list instead.
The room is small and booking is recommended, by phone or email to the tasting room. The guided Tasting Bench runs on the hour and takes about 45 minutes, and the fee is refunded if you buy two bottles. The Terrace is the walk-up option, with wines by the glass and food.
It pairs neatly with a slow afternoon: a wander around town, ten minutes from the park, then wine and the cheeseboard. Buy a bottle to carry back and open it in the communal kitchen or outside your pod. Sort your driver before you go.
