Gapsted Wines

"The road to Victoria’s Alpine ski country goes right by this impressive vineyard. The smart cellar door has sail awnings over its outside deck providing shade in warmer weather. This provides the perfect place to sample Gapsted’s excellent wines while looking across the Ovens Valley at Mount Buffalo and an attractive slice of the Alpine region. You can enjoy good antipasto and cheese platters featuring local ingredients. Other facilities include an amphitheatre stage for concerts and plans for a barbecue area beside the dam. While you’re here look out for the Limited Release varietals that feature rare straight bottlings of Petit Manseng, Malbec, and what might be Australia’s only Saperavi." Ralph Kyte-Powell
