Cool Climate Winery Tour
There are seventeen winery cellar doors in the 120km between Glenrowan and Mount Beauty. We suggest a possible visit to some of thirteen wineries which are most conveniently located.
Calling a trip to Mount Beauty a winery weekend is probably somewhat misleading. For a start there are thirteen plus cellar doors just between Glenrowan and Mount Beauty: Even spreading the wineries between some coming to Mount Beauty and some returning home is more than most people can comfortably manage for a weekend.
Three of the local wineries range in distance from the Kiewa View accommodation 2km to 4km. It is quite practical and pleasant to cycle to these wineries if you bring your bike with you.
The closest of the wineries can be an enjoyable walk. Annapurna the nearest winery cellar door / cafe on Simmons Creek Road is a must visit simply for the stunning location with mountain valley views. And the Tuscan food at Ceccanti should not be missed.

Mount Beauty
