Background and philosophy
The Cellar Door tradition has been nurtured by the Brown family, growing with it and their business over successive generations.
When John Charles Brown took over the reins of Brown Brothers in 1934 he fostered the tradition of the Tasting Room at Cellar Door - a place where visitors could call into the winery, try his wines and share some country hospitality and a love of wine with he and his family.
The Cellar Door is seen as the nerve centre of new ideas and experimentation within Brown Brothers, providing the perfect environment for testing new varieties and wine styles. With many different varieties planted and with our Kindergarten experimental research winery, Brown Brothers produce many individual wines of high quality, but in quantities too small to make available for general release.
These have become a special feature of Cellar Door, and are released under the Cellar Door label. Visitors to Milawa can try these wines available nowhere else, from a range which includes limited releases of new varietals, experimental batches and optimum aged wines.
Cellar Door is the ideal place for a leisurely tasting where our informative and friendly staff can guide you through the entire Brown Brothers range. By prior arrangement, Brown Brothers can cater for large groups and offers hosted tastings, tours or a structured group tasting and tuition.
