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.

Delightful spot for an afternoon on the deck with some share plates and a glass of wine. Just be sure before you leave to check that you have the wine you paid for. We paid for a Helen’s Hill Chardonnay and we’re disappointed when we got home to open the bag and discover we were given a bottle of the inferior Ingram Road Pinot Gris instead. Hopefully just an inadvertent error but it left a bad taste after an otherwise pleasant outing.

Helen's Hill winery was recommended to us by another long standing winery in the area.
When we arrived we quickly had a late lunch sandwich. (The winery could only supply a cheese board - not good for lactose intolerant people)
We said we're here for a wine tasting and will be at the cellar door shortly.
On arrival to the cellar door we were directed to the high tables and told that someone will take us through the tasting shortly. 15 minutes later we weren't even given any information on what was on offer for tasting.
Great way to treat visitors to your area and Victoria. Lost a customer there.

This winery is well worth the visit. We enjoyed wine tasting with Paul, he was very knowledge. The cellar door was a relaxed, modern and friendly atmosphere; exceeded our expectations. Next time we will come and enjoy a platter with a glass of wine. We will definitely return.

This was the last stop for our day trip to Yarra Valley and we are SO glad we didn’t skip it. We were greeted by the darling Marianne with her sweet disposition and beautiful French accent. She explained and shared the wines so well that we left with 6 amazing bottles. We can’t wait to enjoy a bottle with our charcuterie board tonight for dinner.

Firstly, just go!!!
We booked in for a wine tasting with another couple, and Cameron took care of us. He was fantastic! Knowledgeable, engaging, great conversation, and he laughed at my jokes 😉
We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Next time we will stay for lunch.

A great hidden cellar door which has a great relaxed atmosphere. Do not eat at the venue but saw the cheese boards and looked very nice. Worth a visit if you want to go to somewhere smaller.

We popped in for a wine tasting. Steve was amazing, as were all the staff- so welcoming and friendly. We were very impressed with their wines. Will definitely be back and have spread the word on how fantastic this place was. Our favourite in the Yarra Valley!!!

I'm a repeat customer to Helen's Hill Cellar door over the last 5 or so years for good reason. Consistently great service, wine, food, and surroundings!
The staff are friendly and very well versed about the wine and remain exceptionally attentive even when the cellar door is busy.
A special mention goes to Jo (and the whole staff) who made my last visit just wonderful. She exemplifies what hospitality is all about!
Fabulous (and consistent) wine at great prices: $15-$30 for a good portion of the range.
Pleasant atmosphere and surroundings, literally nestled amongst the vines with stunning views from the deck area.
Well worth the (re!)visit.

Whilst on a Hen’s day our last stop was Helen’s hill. The lady behind the bar was extremely rude, told us it was the end of the day and she was basically over it. She
shouted in quite a confronting tone about what each of the wines were, her tone was quite aggressive and made us feel very uncomfortable. It almost felt like we were school children being told off. The tastings she poured would have to be the absolute bare minimum if that. It was a small single mouthful and that was it - seeing we had been to three wineries before this and not only staff were much friendlier but the tastings were reasonably bigger, allowing for atleast two good mouthfuls, we felt a bit ripped off. There was 24 ladies, aging from 26-60 and we were all extremely disappointed in the service and would not return back again due to this experience. Very disappointing way to end what had been such a good day.

Was just wondering if you offer set menus? Whether it be individual meals or share platters/ pizzas for an end of year work function. Probably a Sat or Sun afternoon ?
