We stumbled upon the winery on a pleasant Saturday drive while looking for something else that has closed down.

I saw Cafe and thought, "yep Sunny day (one of the first for this spring), What would be better than sitting in the foothills of Mount Alexander covered in green grass slurping a fine Red?"

But I don't drink red's, but what pulled me in was a sign that I had never seen before in the middle of nowhere that said COFFEE, well it said Cafe, But Cafe implies COFFEE now doesn't it? So up the bumpy wine'dy track to see a small guest house that was in fact the cafe winery/cellar door.

Set out with window's all around inside was table's and chairs all set up for light lunch's and coffee that was Lovely, I don't think I have had many coffee's that were like that one to tell the truth, I'm not really a coffee drinker either more a Tea Girl myself, but found the coffee here to be delightful, not to strong that I had to add 20 pounds of sugar just so I could drink it.
The Lunch menu looked lovely offering ox cheek that is my fave, but as we had just had lunch in town I didn't order anything for lunch.

The winemaker Bill is also the chef and the wine maker, so I really feel I need to go back to taste the beef cheek as the coffee was amazing and he really knew what he was talking about with his wine's. Both Sandra and Bill were lovely ppl and did like a bit of a chat, telling us about their wine's and winery.

We didn't try the wine's but will next time we go for a drive we will call in for lunch a wine tasting and Coffee to follow, as Bill was talking about having a small coffee menu to come also.
So I will look forward to our next visit.

We were out for a drive and came across a 'Café' sign with a big arrow out in the middle of nowhere (almost - Sutton Grange actually) Intrigued, we followed the sign along a dirt road and not too long after, came up to Mount Alexander Winery. We were greeted by the owners who were very friendly. The building with a verandah right around is set in acres of furtile farmland. We opted for coffee but a range of light lunches which looked very inviting were also on offer.

There are a range of wines available and the winery cellar door is open on weekends and public holidays or by appointment for tastings and sales from 10AM to 5PM. I didn't try any on this visit but I can say their cappuccino was one of the best I have had in a long long time. We went away glad we came across this gem not too far from Bendigo, and we will certainly be visiting again to have some lunch and maybe sample some wines.
