An absolutely wonderful lunch in a stunning setting, with a great atmosphere and friendly, professional staff. The food was delicious - we had the starters and three meals for four people, and it was more than ample, which meant that unfortunately we didn't have room to try the tempting strawberries and chocolate tart dessert. We sat inside; there's lots of space between tables and we were by a window to the view of the beautiful gardens and vineyard. One guest was gluten intolerant and there was no problem in supplying a gluten-free roll instead of the excellent artisanal bread. I can't recommend this place highly enough; in fact I messaged friends to suggest it before thinking of leaving a review. We will booking in again soon.

I had lunch here recently. Everything about this place is good - it oozes charm, peacefulness and quality. My friends and I sat on the outdoor patio which is sheltered and looks out over the vineyard. We enjoyed the range of entrees then shared Saganaki, Crab and Lamb dishes. We had the wine pairing, so enjoyed two Main Ridge Chardonnays and two Main Ridge Pinot wines. Service and wine commentary was great and we felt very well looked after. Lunch was relaxed, we sat and talked and didn’t feel any sense of being rushed through or needing to leave. It was all fabulous. Thank you.

Food was Ok. Estate is nice. There are a few nice tables outside and a few not so nice. There are tables inside as well. When we arrived the waiter told us there’s no room at the nice table. Only a bit nice one outside or inside. Apparently all the other seating was booked. We took the not so nice table outside.

Whilst we were waiting for a food a walk on (seems more frequent guests) arrived, stated they had no booking and were without questions wasted at the nice tables.

We were there for less than an hour. When we were leaving the couple for the last table outside was just arriving.

For someone who grew up in the industry, this is unacceptable and I would never return. Made me feel like a second class guest.

Very poor behaviour.

Delicious menu offering at a picturesque location. A hidden gem with cosy fire place atmosphere and friendly service. We enjoyed a glass of the locally made Pinot Noir and met the winery pet and mascot Archie !

The combination of great food, great service and a friendly welcome from all of the staff make this one of the best dining experiences on the Mornington Peninsula. This was our third visit and it just continues to get better every time. You will not be disappointed if you decide to eat here. Highly recommended.

Booked for my Aunts 70th birthday. Unfortunately our experience was soured as when we arrived at our booked time, our table had been given away and we were seated outside. It was very chilly and while we were given blankets and the heater was turned on it made it a less enjoyable time.
Food was lovely. The crab pastie and lamb loin were amazing, but I think the awkwardness of our table situation was reflected in the service.

We booked a tasting at this small, old winery and loved the wonderful service and experience - wines are on the expensive end but $10 for tasting is appropriate and you can't beat the history of this estate.

Excellent family-style lunch with quality wines. The baked Camembert is a knock out! Very attentive service and lovely atmosphere

A delicious lunch overlooking the vineyard on a warm summers day.
Great service, ample food and beautiful wines. And a very cute wine dog.

Only cater for smaller groups (6 people or less) and best to ring ahead or can book online, as this is a small family owned and operated business.

Highly recommended.
