What a treasure for the Yarra Valley, the dairy shop is full of local produce Jams, Relish & cheese. We orders a cheese tasting plate & coffee from the very friendly staff. The yound lady delivered the cheese to our table & described each cheese in detail. We sat savouring our cheese & coffee looking out the window at a... More

First time I visited it was a great place, huge choice of cheeses and foods to choose from. Last year change of business processes sees no choices and ignorant staff who need training in customer service

It looks good but I've yet to buy anything there or eat there. The cheeses displays are not conducive to exploring and prices are always a bit on the high side.

This is such an unexpected little treasure in the Yarra Valley - the cheese is nothing short of amazing and I love how its a boutique feel.

Lots of really nice cheeses, a great platter available to share and awesome views to look over while you eat. On the downside, the aroma of cows wafts not so gently across the car park causing those with sensitive noses to potentially gag.

we went (6 of us) yesterday, unable to book and it was very crowded and noisy, also uncomfortably warm. there was one small busload of people which added to the crowd. you have to join in with other people as the tables are large. there was an overpowering farmyard pong when we got out of the car but once inside...

Have had lunch here several times during 2011; it's a bit like a picnic, you get to choose your bits and pieces from the selection of cheese, dips, olives etc, they assemble it and bring it to you on a platter. They use local produce - the smoked trout is great - but of course, cheese is the highlight. Tastings... More

We enjoyed tasting all the different varieties of cheese, and bought some goats cheese in ash. I didn't find it to be any more expensive than the supermarket, but probably better value. It's an intertesting detour if you're in the area anyway touring around, but I wouldn't make it the focus of a trip.

Have visited many dairies in other regions. Total waste of time, charge to taste pieces of cheese the size of a little finger nail. Products in store are overpriced considering that a number of them are supposed to be locally produced.
