winery lunch melbourne

If you're hankering for a winery lunch near Melbourne, you're in for a treat. The Yarra Valley, just about an hour's drive out, is the crown jewel with charming cellar doors and restaurants boasting stunning vineyard views. Expect to pay around $50-$100 AUD per person for a decent lunch, often paired with local wines because, well, you're at a winery. For a posh affair, spots like Domaine Chandon or Oakridge Wines deliver both ambiance and a menu that won't make you want to call your mum afterwards. Remember to book ahead, because wineries are popular and not exactly known for last-minute spontaneity. Check out listings on Tradingpost or CarShowroom for the latest on available venues.
