Undulating hills planted with pinot noir and chardonnay, and a restaurant on par with the city’s best. This is a winery worth travelling for.

Award-winning Neapolitan pizzas and stunning views, just a short drive from Melbourne.

From the helipad to the high-profile architect, no expense has been spared at Levantine Hill. At the restaurant, a Levant-inspired menu that leans into the owners’ heritage. Settle into a wine-barrel-shaped booth for Middle Eastern snack plates, Beluga caviar for an eye-popping $340, three-wine flights and more.

A small, family-run winery named for the pimpernel flowers that grow among the vines. The grapes are dry-grown and hand-picked, and the family bottle and label every wine themselves. This is one of the most intimate – and unhurried – tastings you can have in the Yarra Valley.

Enjoy cold cider, Yarra Valley style, from the family behind Punt Road Wines. This family-friendly bar offers tasting flights of cider and cider-driven cocktails, alongside local beers and wines. Plus, you can build your own picnic hamper and bring your furry friends.
