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

Elegant, Considered Dining in a Remarkable Estate Setting. Coombe Winery excels at delivering food that feels grounded in its surroundings, refined without being remote. The estate itself is striking, from sculpted hedges and heritage pathways to the commanding Melba statue that anchors the grounds. The food mirrors this sense of intention. Dishes are thoughtfully plated, flavours are balanced and precise, and the cooking shows confidence rather than complexity. Seafood is fresh and vibrant, meats are handled with care, and desserts are light, elegant, and restrained. What stands out is the calm assurance of the experience. Nothing is overworked. The menu allows the setting and the wine to play equal roles, creating a cohesive and unforced sense of place. A polished winery dining experience that feels complete, cohesive, and genuinely memorable. Well worth the visit for those who value thoughtful food in an exceptional setting.

Beautiful winery with lush green gardens and very helpful hosts. Hosted a drive day function at the Gallery and Emma our event manager was incredibly helpful. We dropped off the gifts and place cards and banner the day before and Emma had it all set up perfectly. Emma greeted us at the gates and led us to the Gallery. Everyone complimented on the food and presentation. I highly recommend Coombe for functions. There was an option for a garden tour but we didn’t have the time to incorporate that into our event. Definitely one of the best places to host a function

The food was amazing! Hard to decide what to have! Started with homemade, still warm, bread to dip into a gorgeous fresh olive oil (forgot to take a photo). A glass of Coombe sparkling, then Coombe Chardonnay with the Barrimundi. Terrific, friendly service. Would have liked to go on a tour of the house and gardens, but a bit much on the expensive side. Maybe another time. The flat white coffee was on the weak side unfortunately. Great place for a special celebration, like our wedding anniversary!

We read about this on lonely planet, decided to come here for lunch for dame Melba. Atmosphere was great. Good value and delicious three course menu. We had a bottle of Chardonnay and Pinot noir. Chardonnay is buttery but tasty, liked it. But Pinot was just ok.

As a wedding florist, we always love returning to Coombe Yarra Valley. The venue is a perfect blend of rich historical charm and modern elegance. Tucked behind the hedges, it’s full of beauty — from the original gardens and striking architecture to the refined interiors. It provides a stunning canvas for ceremonies in the Italian Garden or under the Oak Tree, and the reception space is just as breathtaking, with rich and raw features. One of our favourite moments is decorating the tables with lots of candles — it looks especially magical as night falls, particularly on the glass-top tables, where the reflections add an extra sparkle ✨✨ The team is consistently warm, professional, and so lovely to work with. I love walking into the reception space to see familiar smiling faces 🥰 The weddings and events team is always organised and make our job easy. It’s such a joy to be part of weddings and events at Coombe!

I loved the venue and we had a wonderful view of the trees from our table. The building interior is very interesting and beautifully finished; for what was once the old garage for Nellie’s luxury automobiles- Cadillac, Rolls Royce etc. The service was friendly and unhurried. Our meals were delicious and are commented on in other reviews. My 4 star atmosphere rating is reduced from 5 due to the repetitive, & to my taste, boring jazz trumpets. A bit more variety would be nice.

I was invited to a private party in the museum. The service is good. There are two options for each course. I had Confit Duck Terrine, Slow Cook Pork Belly and Pork Scotch, Peach Melba. The duck is good but the bun is dry. Pork scotch is much better than the pork belly. Peach Melba is not to my liking. I want a bit sour than sweet.

Good value and options for selecting 2 or 3 courses. Our group chose 2 courses each and everyone was happy with their mains and desserts. The best dish was the lamb shoulder - succulent and falling off the bone, served with deliciously rich gravy and perfectly roasted cauliflower.
