Ever booked a wine tasting and ended up getting a masterclass straight from the source?

At Steels Gate, we keep things intimate, hands-on, and real. We don't do massive crowds or rigid scripts—which means when you pull up a chair at our Dixons Creek cellar door, you never know your luck... you just might get your wine poured by our winemaker, Brad.

Pruning today, flavour tomorrow. 🍇

These dry-grown vines are being carefully cut back to help shape the next season’s growth, and every snip matters. It’s all part of the hands-on work behind our estate wines, from the vineyard to your glass.

Here’s what we’re tasting for later in the year. Bright fruit, balance, and that quiet Yarra Valley character we love sharing.

Come see the story for yourself. Book a tasting or lunch at Steels Gate.

If you tried booking a table for Father's Day recently and were met with a "Fully Booked" message, we owe you an apology.

A pesky glitch in our reservation system was incorrectly showing zero availability for the big day. We’ve given the system a swift kick, cleared out the ghost bookings, and are happy to report that we actually have prime tables still available at our Dixons Creek restaurant.

Brad and Matthew in the winery, working through the 2025 & 2026 vintages. 🍷 This is where your next Wine Club shipment begins. Single barrel selections, tasting notes written by the winemakers themselves, and access to releases that don't make it to the shelf. The Steels Gate Wine Club is one of the best-value memberships in the Yarra Valley. No joining fees. No annual fees. Just great wine, twice a year. Learn more on our website or drop by the cellar door and we'll talk you through it.

This is what August looks like at Steels Gate Wines. 🍂 Brad and Matthew walking the Home Block rows after a big week of winter pruning, the vineyard dog doing her very important inspection work alongside them. It's a quieter time of year for the vines — dormant, patient, resting up — but there's plenty of careful, hands-on work happening to set things up for next vintage. We wouldn't have it any other way. 🐕
