Polperro, Crittenden Estate, Port Phillip Estate and Mantons Creek Estate offer accommodation on their winery grounds. Jackalope and Lindenderry are hotels on vineyard estates. Check the property and room details directly with each operator. ### Is Cassis Red Hill a winery stay? Cassis is an independent villa base overlooking a neighbouring vineyard. It suits a wine-country trip, but it is not accommodation operated by that winery. ### Can I walk from my room to a cellar door or dinner? An on-estate stay can put accommodation and a cellar door on the same property, but opening days, dinner service and booking arrangements vary. Confirm the exact service and any transport needs with the operator before making plans.
