About Shadowfax Winery

A thirty-minute drive from the CBD lands you among Werribee Park vines for cellar door pours and relaxed Mediterranean dining without the Yarra Valley trek. Grab a picnic rug for wine flights on the shaded grass, or head into the restaurant for house-made gnocchi and the Feed Me menu. Downstairs, a subterranean barrel hall offers tastings tucked directly below the dining floor. The afternoon settles into wood-fired salami pizza and chilled Macedon Ranges whites on the lawn.

  • City-Close Escape: Located thirty minutes from Melbourne CBD within Werribee Park, delivering vineyard lunches and tastings without the trek to distant wine valleys.
  • Walk-In Lawn Picnics: Walk-in guests can take a picnic rug straight to the lawn for wine flights, pizzas, and small plates under the trees.
  • Underground Barrel Hall: A barrel hall directly beneath the dining floor hosts tastings and cellar explorations before or after lunch.

    The open estate setting provides shaded outdoor tables and grassy space right beside the vines where children can play comfortably while adults dine and taste.
