Winery Dining Spaces
Love the idea of holding your event at a winery? You’re in the right place and the choices are all delicious. Think vineyard views, locally sourced produce, wine matched menus and the option of pairing a tasting, wine blending or grape-stomping activity to your event are all possibilities.
Popular choices include De Bortoli Yarra Valley Estate with views that are just as divine as the hospitality. Upstairs at Locale restaurant, groups can relish an Italian-inspired menu highlighting the very best local produce.
Alternatively, Levantine Hill’s partnership with hatted chef Teage Ezard has resulted in Ezard, a true gastronomic delight in an incredible setting. With a variety of venue spaces to choose from, depending on your group’s size, it’s the ideal setting for a product launch, awards night or gala dinner.
