“Closer still is Ellender Estate in Glenlyon where local dentist-turned-winemaker Graham Ellender fires up his huge wood oven each weekend. Sitting looking over their rolling vines with a slice of tallegio and mushroom pizza and a good chardonnay in hand is hard to beat.”
Gourmet Traveller 2008 Best on the Best: Alla Wolf-Tasker, chef/owner, Lake House, Daylesford
“The pretty little village of Glenlyon is a little off the beaten track, and if you venture a few kilometers north of town Leura Glen is an isolated pocket of viticulture in the lovely hills. It’s a bit hard to find but worth the search; a friendly spot in a little valley with a comfy tasting room ……………”
Ralph Kyte-Powell, Wine Regions of Victoria
“For every million-dollar wine fantasy, there is a modest vineyard such as Ellender Estate that takes us back to the days of the passionate artisan. Graham and Jenny Ellender have taken great care in developing chardonnay, pinot noir, shiraz, merlot and cabernet sauvignon. Gourmet platters and Grinders coffee are on offer from the cellar door overlooking a lake and valley, with an array of Daylesford-Macedon produce.”
