Binnorie Dairy

Walk in any day of the week and watch cheese being made through the viewing window into the dairy. The shop sells the full Binnorie range direct: the gold-medal Marinated Feta, triple cream brie, pesto labna, vine-ash goat log, washed rind, and a truffle brie that turns up around Christmas. Pull together a platter with charcuterie and house-made tiramisu, lemonade scones or ricotta cheesecake, and eat on the deck with a coffee or a glass of local wine. Founded by Simon Gough in 2003 after he trained in France and Syria and worked at Yarra Valley Dairy; his wife Sally runs it now with Joseph McVey at the make bench — thirteen years of training alongside Simon before stepping up. Cooler bags at the counter for the drive home.
