Winery accommodation

# Stay in wine country.

Choose an estate villa, winery suite or hotel base. Compare seven stays, then check the exact address and inclusions.

[Compare seven stays ↓](<https://peninsulainsider.com.au/stay/winery-accommodation/#rankings>) [Choose by format →](<https://peninsulainsider.com.au/stay/winery-accommodation/#choose-your-base>)

A good first decision

Pick the stay format first. Then look at the cellar doors and meals you can reach from its actual address.

If tasting is part of the plan, arrange a driver or transport before you go.

Choose your base

## Four ways to do a wine weekend

Wine-country stays

Researched from published sources. Every venue listed was reviewed April 2026 or later.

## Before you reserve

Check the exact room or villa format, current dining hours, minimum nights and tasting access for your dates. These can differ even within the same estate.

**Plan the trip home from tastings.** If you intend to drink, choose a driver or arrange transport in advance. A wine-country address alone does not make every cellar door walkable.
