About Coombe Yarra Valley - Wedding Venue, Restaurant, Cellar Door, and Tours

Tucked behind seven-metre hedges on Dame Nellie Melba’s historic estate, Coombe trades valley tasting-room crowds for heritage gardens and focused regional cooking. Floor-to-ceiling glass looks out across manicured grounds—far more relaxed and intimate than the area's sprawling commercial wineries. Repeat visitors point newcomers straight to the shared lamb shoulder finished in jus, or rabbit ragù tossed with strozzapreti from the rotating prix fixe. Lunch winds down over a glass of estate Pinot Noir and spoonfuls of classic Peach Melba.

  • Melba Estate Heritage: Guided cottage and garden tours explore Dame Nellie Melba's historic home before guests transition to multi-course dining.
  • Refined Estate Dining: Generous seasonal menus feature rich braised lamb shoulder, house-made pastas, and the signature Peach Melba dessert.
  • Bottomless Sparkling High Tea: Indulgent afternoon spreads offer delicate ribbon sandwiches, fresh scones, and free-flowing estate sparkling wine.

  • Flawlessly Executed Signature Mains

    The kitchen's centerpiece savory dishes deliver generous portions, highlighted by tender lamb shoulder cooked to order and balanced with rich jus.

    The lamb shoulder (an extra $9) was absolutely worth it—rich, tender and beautifully balanced with the sauces.
