Visitor Info

The vineyard at Myrniong is nestled in a high, cool viticultural site, surrounded by the lush valley that connects the historic town of Bacchus Marsh to the goldfields of Ballarat, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing day trip from the city.

​

The historic bluestone Cellar Door and Chapel, built using remnants of Ballarat's original jail from the 1840s, beautifully preserve the essence of the area's rich history.
