Ballandean Estate Wines is the beating heart of Granite Belt Wine Country. For over 80 years this iconic brand has been owned and operated by the Puglisi family who live and breathe wine.

Some cellar doors are like restaurants on the waterfront of the Sydney harbour by the Opera House, prime real estate, can’t be missed and just about everyone knows’ about them. Sometimes though, the fun is in the finding, like the little bars in the lane ways of Melbourne.

Watershed has a modern setup with a separate restaurant and a cafe each with a different menu. The cellar door sits on a small rise with stunning views over the vineyard and a large blue water lake with gum trees lining the border of the property in the distance.

Located on the Main Street of Nuropita the cellar door is located in a charming cottage complete with water fountain and rose gardens.
