Discover the charm of Michael Unwin Wines, an independent family-owned winery in Windermere – Ballarat, Western Victoria. Open seven days a week, 360 days a year, they invite you to explore their cosy lounge room-style cellar door, where locally grown grapes are crafted into exceptional wines.

Where the scent of over 20 maturing wines fills the air, and towering wine barrels set the atmosphere. Enjoy a tasting experience featuring our Tram Car, Umbrella Man, Tattooed Lady, and a curated selection from our extensive archive. Pair your wine with a delicious cheese platter while taking in breathtaking views.

For something truly special, try their exclusive "fill your own" cellar door-only range. Bring your own bottle and fill it with a unique offering available only to visitors.

Catch a glimpse of winemaking in action—whether it's vintage, barrel topping, bottling, or labelling, there's always something exciting happening behind the scenes. Plus, Mike’s friendly winery dog, Arlo, will be there to greet you with a wag of his tail (or a friendly paw!).

Whether you're a wine enthusiast or simply looking to relax, Michael Unwin Wines offers the perfect spot to enjoy the best of Western Victoria.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
