      Don’t miss this 🍷
      What an experience! Probably the most underrated winery in the country. Beautiful reds and fortifieds. Absolutely must try the vintage reds and rare fortified wines. The vibe at the cellar door was great. Zalan and Stuart made for a very enjoyable cellar door experience . I loved meeting Wendy Killeen, who just got back from a trip to China. Clearly she’s a leading innovator in the emerging Rutherglen wine industry.

      Rutherglen highlight
      This winery was one of our best cellar doors in the region. The wines were beautiful and the staff were really engaging. They shared their passion and creativity, even taking the extra time to show us around the property. Stuart and Zalan gave us a Rutherglen highlight and we came away with a boot full of wines and fortifieds to enjoy for a long time. Thank you for giving us an inviting and memorable experience.

      Great Winery visit
      What a wonderful visit to Stanton & Killeen Winery. We had a great tasting, the wines were great and even better one of the best hosts we have ever had at a winery. Stuart really knew his stuff and was fun to deal with and you could tell how much he loved his job. Yes, we left with various bottles of wine and will return.

      Above and beyond
      Stuart treated us to a degustation of wines and fortifieds, and an unforgettable experience. A master conversationalist, Stuart sent us home with book recommendations, a revelation of a recipe for leftover risotto, a short course in local history, and many, many wines. Everything on tasting was delightful. We especially loved the rose and sparkling shiraz durif.

      Great wine tasting.
      Spent Saturday afternoon at this fabulous winery including a tasting session. So fortunate to be served by Stuart who has an amazing knowledge of wines across the globe. Some excellent wines. Our favourite 2019 The Prince. Great way to spend an afternoon. Thanks so much Stuart.

      Private Iberian Wine Tasting
      Enjoyed the Iberian Tasting in the cellar. A special event to learn about the wines inspired from this region. Delicious, generous and informative. A unique experience. Booking is required. Make sure to allow some time for this one, it's really special.

      The very best wine experience in Rutherglen
      Stanton and Killeen offer the most amazing and personal wine tasting experience. The Iberian Wine Tasting features the Portuguese wines they are famous for. It offers an education in these wines, so good that we have repeated for the last 3 years because every vintage is different. It is conducted by very friendly and generous staff who are more than happy to answer all questions. Stanton & Killeen are certainly worth a visit to expand your life's wine experience.

      We were doing our own tour of the area with me as designated driver. These wineries we went to were all very interesting and offered and range of wines etc to taste. I did try the muscat here as it has been a favourite of mine for 40 years. The blonde short haired lady dealing with us was terrific. Great explantations and patience servicing us with the various wines. For me the best place for Muscat. They also have a range in 5l glass flagons which is very good. A place not to miss.

    We had a great experience blending our own Muscat.
    A very friendly greeting upon arrival and the entire agenda was explained before starting the winery tour. It was great to see the history and age of the winery and look at all of the vintage barrels.
    The blending was very well done, clearly explained and we were left to do our experiments. My advice is to take your time and experiment with all of the different flavours.
    The final Muscat is delicious!!

    Excellent experience, that quickly became competitive amongst other family members !
    It was like a muscat tasting , and an educational experience rolled into one, not to mention a delicious tasting platter included in our package… PLUS…. you come away with a bottle of “The worlds greatest muscat blend”…..well…. at least I did !!
    Highly recommend!!

    This whole experience could be classed as the icing on the cake to our holiday. Very much enjoyed the attention to detail of our host Zalan, the friendliness of all, even the doggy and how one left the experience gaining a very small insight into wine making. Highly recommend this whole experience and I would do it again.

    This was an unique experience.. We got to play chemist with our test tubes and funnels -Fun!! Arranging some form of transport to take you home would add to the experience. Spoke to the winemaker and manager. They were able to answer all of our questions. Fascinating to learn how Muscat is aged and categorized. How and where the grapes grow changed the taste even on such a small block.

    We had such a great time here, we started with a tour of the winery and it’s history. Then taken through where the muscat barrels are kept and our hosts talked about the history of the barrels and contents and sampled some. We then were shown to a table all,set up for our muscat blending using three different muscats, once we had chosen our own blend it was bottled and given to us. It was so much fun.
