Lightfoot Wines

21/07/2026

Our Cellar Door will be closed this Saturday, 25 July, while we celebrate one of the Lightfoot's milestone birthdays.

We'll be back pouring Friday and Sunday, 11am–5pm, so join us for your winter w**e fix on the deck.

Thanks for letting us celebrate—we'll see you soon.

We’ve given the menu a refresh.

A few cellar door favourites remain, alongside a range of new small plates designed to be mixed, matched and shared around the table. As always, it’s built around local producers and made with w**e firmly in mind.

Good food, good w**e and a front-row seat to winter in Gippsland.

Kings Birthday weekend = your excuse to visit the cellar door.

We’ve just rolled out a new food menu designed for grazing with w**e — a few cellar door favourites alongside some fresh new additions. Think snacks that turn into lunch and one glass that somehow becomes two.

Bookings are highly recommended, especially if you’re after a seat inside over the long weekend.

A really special afternoon in Melbourne celebrating Eleanor Louise Butt ahead of her upcoming solo exhibition *Unfolding Fields* opening Friday at COMA .

We’ve been following Eleanor’s success for many years now as the daughter of our Head Winemaker Alastair Butt, so the idea of supporting this preview was a pretty obvious one for us. Seeing the new works together in her Melbourne studio felt pretty special.

Her paintings operate as sites of embodied experience and entangled encounters, with deep connections to memory, sensation, and material. From the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia to Cornwall, Muswellbrook and now Sydney again, it’s been incredible watching her work continue to reach new audiences.

If you’re in Sydney over the next couple of months, we’d definitely recommend seeing the work in person.

*Unfolding Fields*
COMA Gallery, Sydney
15 May – 27 June

Vintage 2026.

A full room, a social crowd, and a day that delivered — helped along by some very kind autumn weather.

We opened a few magnums of older Cliff Block Pinot — drinking beautifully — now available to buy at the cellar door. Alongside that, the new Darkfoot blend made its first appearance.

A big effort behind the scenes to bring it all together, and a great group to do it for. The food from was on point

Back open as normal this weekend, Fri - Sun 11–5.

Autumn’s calling and so is the 2024 Minotaur.

Cherry compote, musk and a bit of that savoury edge that keeps things interesting. Plush, a little wild, and exactly what you reach for when the temperature drops and dinner runs long.

On now. You know what to do.

We love everything about w**e which is why we love to experiment. Our range includes some lesser-known w**e styles and grapes not to mention emerging styles in our limited release range.

2024 Renegade is out.

Whole bunch.
No interference.
Time doing the work.

A quieter kind of wild. Aromatics that drift, structure that sits rather than shouts. One to open as the evenings draw in and see where it lands.

A few moments from Sunset Series VI — and, for now, the last of the Sunset Series as we’ve known it.

It felt right to have one last dance with Tanya and The Long Paddock team. The food, as always, carried the evening.

The weather didn’t quite play along, but in its own way it gave us something different — a chance to bring everyone inside the w**ery. Not a bad reminder of what that space can do… perhaps a few ideas planted for winter. We’ll see.

Thanks to everyone who joined us, inside and out. These evenings have always been about more than just sunsets.

Next up:

Vintage Lunch 2026
Saturday 2 May

We’re looking forward to seeing what Mark & Victoria bring to this one, and their take on the cellar for the afternoon.

More to come — keep an eye out.
