Sit | Stay | Sip. Good Dog. A Great Escape
A big country hello...
​
Blame Mabel is about the sweet simplicity of country life, a quirky and calming celebration of the slow and simple, goodies made or grown with love, the rhythm of nature, Mabel (the boss) and then add wine.​
​
We're a charming boutique getaway with three charming cabins and a farmhouse on the cutest little mountain. There's also a quaint cellar door and quasi farm shop, nestled in the vineyard and open to the public year round. ​​
​
Our soils are bloody delicious, producing wines that are doubly delicious. ​​It’s quiet, a little rugged, and just enough offbeat to keep things interesting.​
​
Wine away with a book in hand, take on your arch nemesis in a chess match, or sharpen your storytelling skills and let your charisma shine. Made even better paired with our beautiful wines.​​
​
Make a day or stay of it. Here at Blame Mabel, in the heart of the Moorabool Valley, you’ll fit right in.
​
(P.S Be sure to pucker up for Mabel kisses)
Cellar Door
"A serious cellar door, but there’s no need for you to take it seriously. Here’s what we mean."
​​​At Blame Mabel you’ll find exquisite wines crafted with care and a small but growing selection of local products and/or artisan-made goodies for sale, a kind of quasi farm shop feel. It’s just getting started and we’re fussily unearthing little pops of wonderfulness across our region. ​
​​You can play card and board games, linger a while, basque in the sun, throw the ball for Mabel and dust off those stories that you’ve probably told a few times already.​
​​​
​We’re in the beautiful Moorabool Valley and there's so much history in this 30-acre steep site on Mount Anakie. Our rich volcanic black clays over basaltic rocks formed many years ago provide a unique setting and perfumed wines. Proudly one of the oldest existing vineyards in the region, and being the first vineyard in Victoria to introduce onsite accommodation.
​
​We're proud to be a part of its history and acknowledge the original vignerons who saw the potential in this site back in 1984.
​We’ll greet you like an old friend
(you've been prewarmed about the Mabel kisses).
