Ok, Ok, the other wines are really great too, but the ports the brandies that I tried were superb!
This beautiful winery, tucked a short drive out of Melbourne has a beautiful cellar door along with some quality items for sale, such as fine chocolate, some wood worked items and some lollies, to name a few things.
But once again, I just want to say, get the port..... You will not be sorry!

A wonderful place to shop for fruit, vegetables, eggs, plants and other local produce such as honey. It is located just off the historically interesting Avenue of Honour, which is bordered by market Gardens. Seasonal produce - especially strawberries, cherries, stone fruits, apples - is particularly good and very reasonably priced. There is often a range of varieties of vegetables available (e.g., potatoes) that one does not see in supermarkets. There is some vintage farm machinery in the grounds, and parking is never a problem. The staff are always welcoming.

It was an awesome experience by picking our own cherries from a tree. It was a great bonding for family and friends too. The place is too huge and trees were not that tall that you will be able to enjoy the fruit picking in Bacchus Marsh. Yummy sweet cherries at its best

As a family of 5 adults, we all had fun picking the stone fruits. The nectarines are juicy and sweet. The peach are also lovely. The apricots at the front were much better than the ones at the back. The plums were good too.
They were no cherries left which is unusual as we were here last year same time and we had loads of cherries. From memory last year we didn't have to pay for cherry picking but this year there is a fee. The stone fruit picking was free.
Check before entering as other aces charge entry per person for stone fruit picking. This adds to the cost. By the time you pay $10 per person, you are down $50 before you even begin. Then you pay per kg for the fruit you pick. Expensive fruit as it turns out. If there was no entry fee, I would be returning more often to pick my own fruit and would end up with more buckets each time. The entry fee deters returning customers.
German staff friendly enough. Instructions given to where to go for the various fruit.

This old building and the cottage next door are just historic reminders of what this main Street must have looked like years ago. The cottage wasn't opened when I was there apparently it opens once a month to the public. The Forge was opened at the weekend and was full of second hand books and Blacksmith memorabilia. The books were cheap and the Interactive videos showed the town of years gone by.
The inside had been restored by it reeked of age.

Maddingley Park is quite close to Bacchus Marsh railway station and has good facilities for any weather to suit picnics and barbeques. It is about 1.5km from the centre of town, but there are some shops nearby, including a pub. I was impressed to see toilets, electric BBQs, under cover Seating, and much open space for the kids to run around. There is also a sporting arena that must get some use. The ancient trees are quite impressive as well as the non-native ones planted over 100 years ago.

I was a bit disappointed with the service, despite the fact that it had many useful brochures for local and remote locations. I wanted local bus route maps and timetables, given they had so many other bus service brochures in the centre, but I was referred to the bus company. Then I picked up a brochure of a new walking route to the railway station, with a pedestrian bridge over the Werribee River, but there were errors in the map and I got lost. Still, I would go back for information again.
