What to Expect at Winburndale Wines' Cellar Door
Updated
Winburndale Wines welcomes cellar door visitors on Saturdays from 10:30am to 3:30pm without a booking. On Sundays and weekdays, visits are by appointment only, arranged by emailing [email protected]. The cellar door sits at 116 Saint Anthony's Creek Road, Glanmire NSW 2795, about 15 minutes east of Bathurst in the Central Ranges of NSW.
Opening Hours and Access
| Day | Access |
|---|---|
| Saturday | Walk-ins welcome, 10:30am–3:30pm |
| Sunday | By appointment only |
| Weekdays | By appointment only |
If your visit falls outside Saturday hours, email ahead to organise a time. The cellar door is described as easy to find, and the winery sits on the same property as the vineyard.
What a Visit Involves
The cellar door experience centres on two things: tasting the wines and walking the property.
- Wine tasting — the current collection includes Fontana Cabernet Sauvignon, Remnant Shiraz, Pick Pan & Shovel Shiraz Cabernet, Lost & Found Shiraz Cabernet, Golden Gully Pinot Gris, Little Wonder Chardonnay, and Rosie's Rosé.
- A stroll through the vines — the vineyard is on-site, so you can walk among the plantings that produced the wine you're tasting. The property's sloping hillsides and cool climate are part of what shapes the wines.
The setting is a family-owned, boutique operation rather than a large commercial cellar door, so expect a quieter, more personal visit.
Staying on the Property
Winburndale also offers accommodation on the property, which lets you extend a tasting visit into an overnight stay and take in the vineyard views — the winery notes that sunsets there are a highlight. If you're travelling from Sydney, the location just over the Blue Mountains makes it feasible as a day trip or a weekend stop.
Buying Wine
Wines can be purchased online as well as at the cellar door. Some releases are sold by the case:
- 2023 Remnant Shiraz — from $180.00, sold in cases of 6 or 12 bottles. Aged 12–15 months in French oak, with pepper, plum, and blackberry aromas.
- 2023 Pick Pan & Shovel Shiraz Cabernet — from $115.00, sold in cases of 6 or 12 bottles. A 50/50 Cabernet–Shiraz blend with blackberry, cherry, and pepper notes.
Practical Points Before You Go
- Book ahead for anything other than Saturday. Sunday and weekday visits require an appointment, so email before you plan travel around those days.
- Use the email, not a phone number. The site directs visit enquiries to [email protected].
- Check the address carefully. Glanmire is a small locality east of Bathurst; the full address is 116 Saint Anthony's Creek Road, Glanmire NSW 2795.
- Allow time beyond the tasting. The vine walk and the property views are part of the visit, not an add-on.
