Centennial Vineyards

This a beautiful destination to visit when in Bowral with a wonderful restaurant and cellar door for the vineyard on the property. We spent a relaxing Saturday afternoon at the spacious restaurant which looks like a grand hall with a huge fireplace at the end, tables in the middle and more seating along the sides with windows looking out to the vineyards. There's a lovely courtyard with more seating and another oversized fireplace outside. It's a great looking place and would perfect for a wedding or large gathering. The menu and wine list is quite extensive, with lots of delicious sounding options. We opted for the chefs banquet which offered the best value and variety ($98). For that you start with a nice house sparkling white for each of us, followed by a mixed entree with 5 appetisers with a nice variety of flavours. For mains and desserts you get to pick off the menu. I went with the aged steak cooked medium which was perfect. Delicious pepper sauce and a small server of green leaf salad and a tasty potato layer stack. I finished up with a sweet and tangy mango dessert which complimented my main perfectly. This is a perfect venue for family get togethers or friendly catch-ups. Not too noisy for such a spacious room. The service was great. Our waitress was fast and attentive. The food came out at a good pace for us to enjoy a nice relaxing meal.

Very friendly hosts. Seems like a popular spot for weddings. We prebooked the brunch (a little surprised that it wasn’t as crowded as we had imagined). The scones were very nice with delicious jam and cream. The rest of the sweets were a little too sweet to our liking.

Such a lovely wine tasting experience with Anna! So knowledgable about wine and generous with her time and descriptions. Afterwards enjoyed a nice lunch on the terrace and the beautiful views of the vineyard. Would recommend for anyone looking for the best wine experience in the Highlands!

Lovely venue. I attended a wedding at Centennial Vineyards in Bowral and the staff were attentive and helpful. Worth checking out the wine tastings while you're there.

Booked a catch up with friends on the terrace for my birthday. Staff, food and wines were amazing (staff went above and beyond). Special mention to the staff who anticipated the weather and created an inside space for us for when the weather turned.

The best decision we made was choosing Centennial Vineyards as our wedding venue! From the very beginning, the service was amazing. The first time we visited, we had lunch to check out the food and the dishes were delicious and beautifully presented, and the service was warm, professional, and attentive. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, Melissa and Surya were absolutely incredible. They were super responsive, helpful, and professional from start to finish. Every question we had, every little detail we needed to sort out—they were right there with us, making the process feel smooth and stress-free. A special shoutout to Surya, who truly went above and beyond. He’s so professional, was always on standby, quick to respond, and handled everything with care and precision. We honestly couldn’t have done it without him. On the wedding day, everything came together so beautifully. The venue looked absolutely stunning, the food and wine were incredible. It was truly a perfect day! 📸 Photos captured by the amazing Iluminen team!

We had a wonderful experience at Centennial Vineyard. We were served by the lovely Anna who made our experience even more enjoyable and memorable. She was very knowledgeable on the wines and gave us a great insight into how they are made. Great service and wines. Would highly recommend a visit

If you’re looking for a wedding venue in the Southern Highlands—or even just a beautiful spot for lunch—look no further than Centennial. We had our wedding here in early 2025, and from start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, thanks to Melissa and her incredible team. Their attention to detail and warmth made wedding planning not just stress-free, but genuinely enjoyable. A standout moment for us was working with chef and owner Robin Murray on the menu. Instead of choosing from a set list, Robin took the time to ask what we loved to eat and crafted a menu that was both personal and unforgettable. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food! As always, the venue itself was breathtaking. The space strikes the perfect balance—intimate and cozy while still giving everyone room to celebrate, dance, and enjoy the night under one roof. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Centennial to anyone considering it for their wedding or a special meal.

Lovely venue and fine dining menu to match. Located in the heart of a vineyard. Lots of matching wines to pair with your meal. The fish was well presented and flavor some. The beef dishes were tender and tasty. Nothing extraordinary or innovative on the menu. Just a typical mod Aussie fine dining. My favorite part of the meal, dessert, was ok. Nothing wow! Didn't find many appealing dessert choices. The service was good and if you go during a public holiday, there is a hefty surcharge.

This is definitely a place that I recommend swinging by if you are in the area and wine tasting. As we walked up through the entrance area, we were greeting with a fantastic view of the cellar and restaurant area. And although we didn't get a chance to partake in their food in the dining room --- we did visit the cellar and had some fantastic wines. The atmosphere along with the friendly/knowledge staff made this one of the best wineries we visited in the area. I realize that everyone has a different palette --- but the stand out wine for me was their slightly carbonated Syrah. It was not only fantastic, but was the most unique wine I tried. I enjoyed it so much that I purchased a bottle to return with back to the states.

Loved this place! We started with a tasting. The staff were super friendly and there were some nice drops! I love a sparkling Shiraz and this was a very tasty and award winning drop! I was also a big fan of the Pinot Gris. So post tasting we headed to lunch at the winery restaurant. It is a lovely big room and we were seated in the sort of conservatory glassed area on the side. We decided to get a few dishes and share. The highlight was the fig, walnut and blue cheese salad which was delicious. We had the lamb shoulder which was tasty but a bit unexpected - more curried lamb in a wrap. And a rocket salad and a delicious cauliflower gratin. All enjoyed with a fabulous Pinot noir! Lovely spot!

High quality food and service make this winery and restaurant a great choice in the southern highlands

Terrible experience, food, service! Nothing was memorable? With 4 people present we all experienced the same regardless if it was the entrees (4 of them) , and 4 main meals, plus 4 deserts. It was just average, nothing special, no wow factor. We wrote an email to them when we got back home, that was now 2 weeks ago and rang to make sure the email arrived. Guess what they won't be commenting or replying to said email? I'm guessing they don't care about their customers. By the way, if you want great food and service you must go to the royal hotel fine dinning at the back of the hotel. Worth every cent and similar dollars per person ($100) we all were totally blown away with, entrees, mains and desserts.
