Dominique Portet

Set amongst the beautiful rolling vineyards of the Yarra Valley, this recently renovated cellar door is open daily from 10am to 5pm.

Ninth-generation winemaker Dominique Portet chose the cool climate of aptly named Coldstream in the Yarra Valley as home to the eponymous winery he founded in 2000. It was the culmination of a tenacious search for grapegrowing terroir to rival that of his native Bordeaux – but also the start of a new chapter in a winemaking story that has its roots in France in the early 1700s. Now son Ben – generation 10 – heads the winemaking team, firmly observing the central tenets of this young yet historic estate: respect for tradition, understanding of site and an open mind towards contemporary practices that shape wines that are ever more refined and delicious.

Denton would love to welcome you, share what they love to do, and have been doing since 2000 - whether its tastings, tours of the barrel room and winery, or something a little more drawn out.
Their charming Bistro draws on our Bordeaux roots to bring you French family classics. They also have a pretty full calendar of family-friendly, social food and wine events throughout the year.
