• Hello 👋 We thought it was time to re-introduce ourselves and explain what Cellar Door Society is and how we support Aussie winemakers. . We’re Tim and Sophie and what inspired us to create CDS was our passion for supporting small businesses. We’ve always loved buying from local farmers markets, and small family owned wineries. There’s nothing quite like chatting with the friendly locals, and knowing you are buying the best quality product, from those who made it. . So we created an online marketplace which you can think of a bit like a farmers market and a cellar door combined. Put simply, we’re the market, and our wine partners have their own storefront or “stall” within our online market to sell directly to you. By direct we mean the wine comes from their cellar door to you, and you pay them directly. We use this model so we can give the winery a greater return on their product, and so they can receive payment immediately from the sale, like they would if you bought from their cellar door/market stall. . We know there’s nothing quite like meeting those behind the wine in person, and hearing them tell their story, but since we can’t always get there in person, CDS aims to bring this experience to you online. You can shop our virtual cellar doors anywhere, anytime and be guaranteed you are buying excellent quality wine, handcrafted with love, directly from small, family owned producers. We’re just the market bringing you together. . If you’re interested in learning more about how we support Aussie winemakers, check out our Sell With Us page via the link in our bio! 😊 . . . . . #suportsmallbusiness #shoplocal #buylocal #aussiewine #winenot #supportlocal #familyowned #familyownedbusiness #wine #marketplace #onlinemarketplace #farmersmarket #cellardoor #australianwine #wineaustralia #localwine #cellardoorsociety #winelovers #buydirect #winery

  • How satisfying is it when you pair the perfect wine with your food?!🍷🍲🤗 . One of our all time favourite combinations is definitely Viognier with spicy Asian food. 🤤 This fresh and vibrant wine, with delicious pear, apricot and ginger flavours and a soft, velvety finish went down amazingly with our Thai food. Cheers @silverspoonestate for making our night!! .

  • It makes me really happy to share this post from @winelifeforme about her recent visit to @captainscreekwinery. Small, family owned businesses like Captains Creek always provide a special experience and we’re so glad we can make people aware of such wonderful places to visit. ❤️ . #repost: If you get a chance to visit Captains Creek Winery, I recommend you do. We received a very warm welcome from owners Doug and Carolyn, and tried their lovely selection of organic wines. Just 10 minutes from Daylesford, they have 5 acres of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines that were planted on the family farm in 1994. . They also make ciders using a mix of apples they grow on the farm, including a yummy sparkling cider made by methode champenoise. . A rustic cellar door with a huge open fire was perfect on a cold day like today. They also serve lunch on the weekends which is what I plan on doing next visit @captainscreekwinery. Thanks @cellardoorsociety for making me aware of this great place. . . . . . #familyowned #organicvineyard #cellardoor #daylesford #buylocal #supportsmallbusiness #vineyard #organicfarming #certifiedorganic #wine #organicwine #sustainablewine #winemaking #whitewine #redwine #chardonnay #pinotnoir #cider #winery #cellardoorsociety #winetasting #australianwine #victorianwine #aussiewine

  • What’s a hens party without a delicious grazing platter matched with delicious wine?! 🧀🥂👏 . Number one priority as a bridesmaid is ensuring the bride and her nearest and dearest have an incredible day. But… bridesmaid duties also requires working within a budget. Which is why @georgieorbachwines was a perfect choice for the day. Excellent quality wine but at an affordable price. At only $10 a bottle, these wines are dangerously drinkable and definitely a crowd pleaser. 🍷🍾🤗 . If you’re planning an event or stocking up for the festive season - highly recommend these exceptional value and quality wines from an awesome small producer. Follow the link in our bio to check out Georgie’s wines on our website. 👍 . . . . . #hensparty #bridesmaidduties #somuchwine #winewinewine #wineoclock #winelovers #whitewine #redwine #sparklingwine #foodandwine #wineanddine #cheeseandwine #wineandcheese #grazingplatter #wine #cellardoorsociety #australianwine #buylocal #supportsmallbusiness

  • Throw back to the first stop on our recent Barossa Valley wine tour, @whistlerwines, another great find on Insta. I was keen to check this winery out for a few reasons. One- their great family history and two, their vineyard management and winemaking style. . Grape growing has been part of the Pfeiffer family way of life for four generations, with Martin Pfeiffer following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather by planting vines in 1994. Now Whistler Wines is run by Martin’s sons Josh and Sam and their wives, who all play a part in the family business. It’s awesome to see family traditions continue over such a long time and hats off to the current custodians of Whistler Wines for making it what it is today. 👏 . Really like their approach to winemaking and their focus on sustainability - using organic and biodynamic practices in the vineyard and a hands-off approach in the winery. Essentially making wines as naturally as possible. . Safe to say, everyone was really impressed with their wine. Delicious and easy drinking, which worked well being our first stop at 10:30am. 😏 Plus what a gorgeous property! Definitely worth a visit if you’re heading to the Barossa Valley.🍷👍 . . . . . #tbt #winetour #girlstrip #winerytour #winetasting #barossavalley #winery #sustainable #wine #southaustralia #barossa #cellardoor #barossawine #southaustralianwine #winecountry #organicwine #biodynamicwine #redwine #whitewine #vineyard #winelife #winelovers #cellardoorsociety #wineaustralia #australianwine #aussiewine

  • Anyone else pick the winner of The Melbourne Cup?? 🐎👏 Not sure how we managed it but we celebrated nonetheless. 🍷😏 . We’ve always been a huge fan of the Pinot Noir from this Victorian winery @bresswinecider, but we were just as impressed with their Shiraz. . Sustainability is at the forefront of Bress philosophy, using biodynamic and organic practices from the vineyard through to the winery, as well as a minimal intervention approach in the winery. Always good to know how your wine is made and in this case - it was made damn well! 🙌 .
