Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was one of those places in the Yarra Valley that you just have to visit. Emma, you were amazing and we learned so much talking to you. Having been to almost all of them, this one is by far my favourite winery with not only great and innovative wine but top notch service. Thank you so much! Will come back :)

Outstanding little cellar door at this winery.
Customer service was the name of the game with Em and Ben being genuinely lovely people, they went out of their way to do anything and everything for us.
Thanks for a great time!

Maddens Rise -- a must visit winery. The two ladies were excellent hosts - welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about their product. And the product was very good too. Good Friday, so many vineyards closed for tastings but so glad
Maddens was open and that we called.

Very underwhelming, I know it’s a small boutique winery but it was not well kept with long grass everywhere didn’t make a good first impression and the actual building looked liked a ex display home office. The service was professional but very cold and robotic and boarder it on unfriendly.
These guys really need to lift their game if they want to be a serious player in the area.

Unassuming from the road, this little winery is an absolute gem of a find. Not catering to the crowds and pretentious this winery makes beautiful wine for the enjoyment of drinking (whether that is by the fire on a cold and wet Yarra Valley day or in glorious sunshine whilst looking at the view). A must stop for couples and wine lovers.

Staying at Dominique Portet’s air b n b this winery is literally over the road. We had a fun time with Emma. She is knowledgeable and great company. It was an unexpected but delightful way to pass the time on a very hot afternoon.
I’m now back home in Melbourne and sharing pink fizz to celebrate the New Year with my adult daughter. Delicious! Wish I’d bought more ;)

Justin who served us was so knowledgeable, enthusiastic and friendly. He was the standout difference compared to the other wineries we went to.
For someone who didn't drink wine normally I found the wine quite easy to drink.

Hi, I don't see a food menu on their site - do you know if they have food? If not, do they allow people to bring food? Thank you in advance for your response.

No they don't have food. They are a very small boutique winery. Beautiful setting. Not sure about bringing your own food. Maybe you can, and sit outside to eat...the cellar door is quite small.
