Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 122 reviews
Set on the south coast of Phillip Island, this inviting property is open 5 days a week for lunches and afternoon grazing options using the best local produce. The grounds are stunning yet simple, offering expansive lawns, rolling rural views and glimpses of the glittering turquoise water of Bass Straight. The cellar door offers wine-tasting and retail wine and cider sales. The venue offers weekend live music, fun workshops and Premium wine and dining experiences. Guests can wander through “The Yards” where an on-site floral stylist and quality gift shop offers an opportunity to take home a souvenir. The winery regularly hosts weddings and events plus premium evening wine dinners, and the new owners plan to extend the vineyard and build a purpose-built event space for future bookings.

We had a beautiful afternoon celebrating my 30th birthday. The staff were beautiful, friendly, easy going and attentive. They over to chat and make you feel welcome. The food was great- fresh, simple and tasty. The wine tasting is great, affordable and the knowledge of the staff briefing you of the wine’s background and pairings was great. I loved the sparkling, Chardonnay and moscato (I don’t like moscato but you have to try this one!) Even though the wines are not grown on the property (yet!) you are still supporting and tasting Victorian vineyards produce. We have a 7 month old, the staff (and other diners!) dotted over her but were supportive and made us feel very welcome. Loved the whole experience, they made my day very special and delightful. Highly, highly recommend.

4. Purple Hen Winery

We hadn’t been to the Purple Hen for a few years, they’ve gone from strength to strength since our last visit. Although they now charge for wine tasting ($15/head for 6 wines) our server pointed out that if we both ordered 6 different wine tastes, we’d cover most of the selection, and if you buy 2 bottles the fee is waived- so we did that! An excellent cheese board for lunch to follow sitting out in the courtyard meant it was a great visit, highly recommended (and the Sav Blac is great too)
