Captains Creek Organic Wines

Captains Creek Organic Wines is a cracker of a spot in Blampied, Victoria, not far from Ballarat. This family-run farm gate is all about organic wines and ciders, and they've been at it for a while, growing everything with no nasties. You can grab a yarn with the folks who make the drops and taste your way through their range right there at the cellar door. They do proper farm-fresh platters too, loaded with local goodies that go down a treat with a glass of their vino or a crisp cider.

If you're after more than just a quick visit, they've got their "Tiny House Luxury Stay" at Monterey Eco Stay. It's tucked away in 35 acres of bushland, so it's perfect if you keen to switch off for a bit. The cellar door is open weekends from 11 am to 5 pm, so it’s easy to pop in for a visit. You can also swing by their online shop if you can't make it in person. And if you really get into what they're doing, joining the Captains Club gets you a discount on wines, free delivery, and even some perks at the cafe and accommodation. It's a fair dinkum experience, showcasing some top-notch organic farming and delicious local produce.
