About

Located in the serene heart of Dixons Creek, Steels Gate Wines offers an authentic, unhurried Yarra Valley escape where passion, terroir, and seasonal dining converge. Four-legged family members are warmly welcomed.

Settle in for guided tasting flights in the Cellar Door that showcase single-vineyard releases, limited back-vintage gems, and small-batch craftsmanship. The on-site restaurant pairs fine wines with a fresh, seasonal menu featuring locally sourced Yarra Valley produce and herbs harvested straight from the estate garden. Enjoy picturesque floor-to-ceiling views across the vines, or relax on the expansive outdoor terrace and lush lawns where dogs on leads are invited to join you for an afternoon in the sun.

Crafted by founders and vignerons Matthew Davis and Brad Atkins, Steels Gate is renowned for its commitment to dry-grown viticulture. By allowing established 1970s and 80s vines on the Home Block and Melba Block to naturally draw nutrients deep from the soil, Steels Gate produces elegant, cool-climate wines defined by vibrant fruit intensity, complex structure, and natural balance - with a signature focus on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

Whether stopping by for an intimate weekend lunch, a relaxed cellar door tasting flight, or a casual glass of wine and a snack on the dog-friendly terrace (all weather balcony), Steels Gate invites you to slow down, unwind, and savor the true character of the Yarra Valley.
