About Many Hands Winery

Escape the sterile Yarra Valley wine factories for relaxed, unhurried al fresco dining and scratch-made Italian cooking in Coldstream. Table turnover clocks stop at the door. Groups settle into the covered terrace for afternoon feasts of antipasto platters, wood-fired pizzas, and pumpkin ricotta gnocchi. Owner Tony works the floor pouring estate Pinot Noir, while kitchen platters keep coming—shared garlic prawns, generous bowls of seafood marinara linguine, and lemon-garlic marinated olives bathed in bright citrus oil.

  • Unhurried Vineyard Setting: Guests dine along the vines in a sheltered outdoor area without being rushed to turn their tables.
  • Home-Style Italian Kitchen: Scratch-made pumpkin ricotta gnocchi, seafood marinara linguine, and crisp wood-fired pizzas.
  • Hands-On Hospitality: Owner-led wine tastings and table visits create an authentic, personal cellar-door experience.

  • Direct Owner and Chef Hospitality

    The owner and chef regularly visit tables, creating an intimate boutique experience unlike corporate wineries.

    Absolutely spoilt by the chef himself which is a rare sight compared to other wineries in the region.
