Best Wine Bars in Castlemaine

Fantastic venue. Outstanding service. Great cocktails ambience and food. Definitely the best night out in Ballarat we have had for a long time. Quality wine list by the glass or bottle as well as beers on tap. Staff are wonderful and attentive as well as relaxed and engaging. This is our new favourite place. Share plates as well as decent sized options as mains. Open fire, couches bar and booths as well has happy hour. Drop in for a drink or book online if you intend to eat. A real gem capturing urban chic in a regional centre. An absolute must for locals a visitors alike.

My husband and I had a delightful long lunch on the Mother’s Day weekend and we were very happy with the whole experience. The detail in the presentation of the food was amazing. Certainly worth the scenic drive out to Wayward as you won’t be disappointed.

Would highly recommend this restaurant. Have been here before and will return again. Very homely meals with great care going into each meal, even down to them making their own butter. Family business with staff who are helpful and caring. Just love the personal taste. You will not be disappointed.

Highly recommend Lotte Friday night dinners. The food was incredible with fabulous balance & thought out flavours. Everything was cooked to perfection! The service was outstanding with the weight staff being the perfect combination of knowledgeable, friendly and professional.

Incredible vibes at Blue Pyrenees! Peter was an exceptional host—engaging, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. Our group of eight had the best time, and we certainly didn't leave empty-handed. If you’re looking for a tasting that’s as fun as it is delicious, this is it!
