      Amazing tour and tasting
      We had the Mascat Experence tour. While it was measnt to be for an hour, it went considerably longer. We visited the grapes in the vinyard and learnt about the old Alcohol Bond Store. Sam as a guide was amazing. She was happy to answer our questions and take timne. IN the cellar, we could see the barrels being emptied, fantastic smell, and later being filled. We finished with a tasting of the muscats. Yum.

      An Affair to Remember
      My love affair with S&K started with a wine tasting at work Licquer Muscat) almost 5 decades ago! It continued with the obligatory visit to S&K whilst in Rutherglen which was magnificent, also joining the S&K wine club to appreciate fully the range of S&K wines which are enjoyed by the family quarterly. Glad to have the opportunity to enjoy some of the best fortifieds and reds in the world. Thank You xxx Marian & Liliana

      Greatest cellar door in Rutherglen!
      We did the tasting at S&K early on New Year’s Eve 2024. Stuart took us through some incredible wines, telling us not just about the wine but also the region, vineyard and his own history with wines. Absolutely the best experience of our trip to the Victorian high country! There were wines there we’d never tried before, such as the Portuguese Arinto, but it was so good we put three bottles in our first wine club order. And of course the stickies were the standout, both the vintages and the muscats. Stuart gave us some great ones to try, all the way up to the rare, which we then took with us through to the back to see how the wine was stored and produced. All up, such a personal and informative experience as I hadn’t receive since the old days of visiting cellar doors - well done all!

      Masterclass Muscat Blending Workshop
      We were given a voucher each for Christmas to the Masterclass Muscat Blending Workshop. We had no idea what to expect. What a fantastic experience. Thanks to Stanton and Killen staff for making this such a relaxed and informative event. Great fun, highly recommended.

      A must!
      Many thanks to Robin who recently conducted a “Private Tasting in the Solera Room” for our party of four. We enjoyed a wonderfully relaxed afternoon tasting a remarkable range of table and fortified wines, while nibbling on a grazing platter. Robin was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed his keen sense of humour. All in all, we had a fabulous time.

      A wonderful wine experience.
      A wonderful experience tasting wines and then sitting under the trees, drinking more wine and enjoying a cheese and parma ham platter. Stuart, who looked after us during tasting was knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic. Highly recommend.

      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.

      Highly recommended and so much fun.
      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.

      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.

      World class muscats
      Excellent products with friendly customer service. The muscats are world class and it was wonderful to taste the entire range from classic to rare.
