    We had a table of 8 and had a lovely lunch. View is outstanding and it didn’t matter if you were inside or outside to enjoy the view. Stunning place and we are already working out when we can go back. Loved it.

    Five of us dined for lunch and it exceeded all expectations. From the initial wine tasting to the Greek platters we shared the experience was world class. The wines are magnificent and the food was absolutely perfect for the setting. The views from the terrace of the vineyards are lovely and the overall ambience of the restaurant and attentiveness of the staff was first class all the way. Needless to say we all thoroughly recommend this winery for a great afternoon out! 5 stars all the way.

    This winery has excellent wines and has always been a go to for that, but we feel the choices that were available on the day for lunch for very limited, the pizzas were not that great and certainly need to be looked at for us to earn another visit

    Appreciate the feedback Donna. Our menu is designed to complement our wines and we are praised for our pizza. Thanks for giving us a go. Chanmali (Winery Owner)

    There was a wedding on and even though we had booked a table, we were offered a seat at the bar or outside by the dam. We took an outside seat and ordered a shared antipasto platter and a salad. After waiting over an hour, in which time our outside table went from shaded to full sunlight, we gave up and requested our money back and left. A real shame. Because I have eaten here before and it was great, but they need to be aware of their commitments and ensure they can service all their customers.

FAQs

Sundays are especially nice, guests recommend visiting when the estate hosts lazy Sunday live music.

Private dining isn't part of Nillumbik Estate's offering, the focus is on the open dining room and its relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

Expect generous pizzas, at least one guest specifically described the pizzas as "big."

Yes, Nillumbik Estate has outdoor seating: the cellar‑door’s large deck and balcony are frequently mentioned by guests as spots to dine while enjoying vineyard views (guests also sat outside by the dam).

Nillumbik Estate feels relaxed and welcoming, a cellar‑door with a sunlit deck and sweeping Kinglake Ranges views, warm, attentive staff, and the occasional lazy Sunday live music that adds to the friendly, convivial vibe.

Casual dress, comfortable, informal attire is appropriate; nothing formal is expected.

Weekend afternoons are ideal, Nillumbik Estate is open Fri–Sun 12–5 pm, and guests especially recommend Sundays for the lazy Sunday live music and the deck-view afternoons.
