Open every day from 10.30am to 4.30pm, except Christmas Day, Boxing Day, Good Friday or on the occasion we need to close for private events.
For something extra special, book a private tasting in the Private Tasting Room or sign up to our Tasting Circle or Wine Alliance for your invitation to special events and opportunities.
Take a seat in our beautifully appointed Wine Centre with a guided tasting led by our friendly and knowledgeable staff.
We have two tasting options available, to showcase the diversity and craftsmanship of our wines. Kindly allow 45 minutes to one hour for tastings.
Bespoke Tasting
Explore hand-selected wines from across our range, with a primary focus on our celebrated estate wines and the opportunity to taste our Italian and Spanish varieties and styles. This tasting provides an approachable yet insightful journey through our winery’s offerings. It’s perfect for first-time guests to be introduced to our wines, or for repeat customers to try something new.
Supplementary Single Vineyard Tasting
You may wish to add on to your experience a supplementary single vineyard tasting, allowing you to explore the unique character of our home estate. These wines exemplify the pinnacle of our winemaking efforts and almost two decades of sustainable and regenerative farming practices. Delve deep into our winemaking philosophy and our vineyard’s expression. The supplementary tasting predominantly features the Cri de Coeur label but may also include wines from other ranges including, at times, highlights from our "Old & Rare" cellar.
Please note – we offer intimate tasting experiences and as such, accept bookings for groups of up to 6 guests. Give us a call on 03 5987 3800 for further enquiries.
For a limited time we are excited to be offering a novel experience - a Cri de Coeur mini vertical tasting.
The Cri de Coeur (cry of the heart) label was established in 2012. It's the top tier of our single vineyard range of wines and epitomises all that we strive to express; the pinnacle of our winemaking efforts in the winery and vineyard.
This is a rare opportunity to sample the last 3 vintages of the Cri de Coeur Pinot Noir and Chardonnays. Delve deep into our winemaking philosophy and vineyard’s expression with these exceptional wines.
Wines may include the following:
2020 Cri de Coeur Chardonnay
2021 Cri de Coeur Chardonnay
2022 Cri de Coeur Chardonnay
2020 Cri de Coeur Pinot Noir
2021 Cri de Coeur Pinot Noir
2022 Cri de Coeur Pinot Noir
Available as part of our Single Vineyard Supplementry Tasting, with any bespoke tasting. Ask staff for further details when you arrive.
For a more intimate and exclusive wine experience, our Private Tasting Room offers the perfect setting. Nestled beside our wine cellar, this elegant space is ideal for groups of up to 8 guests and provides a personalised touch to your visit.
Private Wine Tasting
Whether you’re looking to explore our classic wines, dive into premium single vineyard wines, or something in between, we’ll create a tasting that matches your palate.
The Private Tasting Room is the ultimate way to experience Crittenden in style and comfort at $45 per person. This experience is complimentary for Wine Alliance members (once per year, for up to 8 guests).
Masterclass Experience
The Masterclass is designed for wine enthusiasts looking to dive deeper into the art and science of winemaking. Go beyond the glass and truly understand what goes into each bottle.
Your experience begins with a guided tour of our vineyard and winery, where you’ll learn about our vineyard practices, regenerative farming and winemaking techniques. The tour is followed by an exclusive tasting of our premium single vineyard wines, offering a comparison of different styles and unique characteristics.
The Masterclass can be added to your Private Tasting Room booking for an additional fee, providing an unforgettable, hands-on exploration of Crittenden’s winemaking. Please phone to book this experience on 035987 3800 (subject to availability).
If you’re a keen wine collector and love to cellar wines, you’ll enjoy discovering the back vintage wines we have stored in our cellar.
