How to Buy Passing Clouds Wines or Gift Cards

Updated

You can buy Passing Clouds wine and gift cards directly through the winery's website. The site has a Wine Shop section and a "Buy now" option for gift cards, and it also offers a Wine Allocation Program (wine club) for access to harder-to-find wines. If you want to order online, start with the Wine Shop; if you want a present for a wine or food lover, the gift card is the stated option.

Buying wine from Passing Clouds

Passing Clouds has been making wine since 1974 and describes its wines as elegant and pure, with a focus on expressing a sense of place and time. Its range includes cool climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, warmer climate Shiraz, and more, made with low intervention winemaking.

To buy:

  1. Go to the Passing Clouds website (passingclouds.com.au).
  2. Open the Wine Shop section from the menu.
  3. Browse Our Wines and select what you want.
  4. Proceed to checkout. The site shows a Shopping Cart and a Login option, so you may be able to check out as a guest or sign in to an existing account.

The site does not publish prices, shipping details, or payment methods in the material available here, so confirm those at checkout before completing an order.

Buying a gift card

The site describes a Passing Clouds gift card as "the perfect present for all wine and food lovers," with a Buy now option. This is the most direct route if your goal is a gift rather than a specific bottle.

A gift card suits someone who:

  • Already knows and likes Passing Clouds wines
  • Would rather choose their own bottles or put the value toward a cellar door or dining experience
  • Lives near or plans to visit the Daylesford / Macedon Ranges region

If you want the recipient to receive an actual bottle instead, order from the Wine Shop and have it shipped to them.

Joining the Wine Allocation Program

If the wines you want are often hard to find, the Wine Allocation Program is the membership route. The site states that being a club member "ensures your access to our often hard to find wines" plus members-only privileges. This is worth considering if you buy regularly rather than once.

Other ways to buy or experience the wine

  • Cellar Door – open 7 days a week, offering a personalised wine tasting experience, about 7 minutes from Daylesford town centre. You can taste before buying.
  • Dining Room – open Friday to Sunday for lunch and wine pairings, bookable online.
  • Train + Wine + Dine – an exclusive package to Passing Clouds, bookable on the site.
  • Mailing list – sign up for updates, which is useful if you want to hear about releases or allocation offers.

Common sticking points

  • Prices and shipping aren't shown in the site material here. Check the cart and checkout for current pricing, delivery areas, and payment options.
  • Login vs guest checkout. A Shopping Cart and Login are both present; if you have ordered before, signing in may keep your details on file.
  • Gift card vs wine club. A gift card is a one-off purchase; the Wine Allocation Program is an ongoing membership with allocation access. They serve different needs.
  • Cellar Door and Dining Room have different hours. Cellar Door runs 7 days; the Dining Room is Friday–Sunday lunch only, so plan a visit around that if dining is the main reason for going.
