About Abelli Estate Winery

Perched in Red Hill, Abelli Estate pairs home-style Greek feasting with cool-climate Mornington Peninsula wines and quiet vine rows. Run by the family with grandparents at the stoves, the dining room carries the warmth of a boisterous Sunday lunch. Regulars gravitate toward the heated outdoor deck—dogs included—to tackle heaping shared platters of chargrilled Moreton Bay bugs, octopus, warm pita, and eggplant dips alongside estate Pinot Gris.

  • Homestyle Greek Feast: Traditional family recipes cooked by the elders anchor a menu of chargrilled seafood and abundant meat platters.
  • Pet-Friendly Deck: The outdoor deck welcomes dogs under overhead heaters with direct views over the vines.
  • Cool-Climate Vineyard Pairings: Estate-grown Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir poured alongside generous shared spreads.
