Mandoon Estate

With a six-week lead time — because who doesn’t love a little pressure — we reached out to Mandoon Estate and managed to secure a date for what started as a simple elopement. That quickly grew into a micro-wedding and eventually a 50-person celebration. The venue is wonderful and truly all-inclusive; there are no hidden extras, which is such a relief. Nothing was ever too much or too difficult. Every question we had was either already anticipated or answered before we even needed to ask. The event coordinators were incredible. The venue itself can accommodate everything from a formal sit-down reception to a relaxed garden party, with contingencies ready just in case. Having Maya Maya accommodation onsite was perfect for the wedding party and guests. The food and drinks were faultless, and the service — from meal and bar staff to the coordinators liaising with suppliers — made the entire day seamless from getting ready, to ceremony, to reception, and even afterwards. We genuinely hope other couples get to experience such a stress-free wedding. You’re able to be truly present and enjoy your day — and that is priceless.

Came here for a girls’ day out and overall had a mixed experience. The tasting platter was amazing, the pizza was delicious, and the margarita might just be one of the best I’ve ever had. The vibe and the setting were great for a relaxing day. Unfortunately, the staff left a lot to be desired — they were rude and a bit off, which definitely affected the experience. Great food and drinks, but the service needs improvement.

Some may be sceptical about the prices, but everything is worth 10 times more than its actual price. If you have any dietary requirements you're in good hands. Coming here for a corporate event, the hospitality, the food, the environment, flawless. Have dietary requirements myself, the chef made no compromises and provided the best mushroom gnocchi I've EVER had. Seriously 10/10

Mandoon Estate will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Our wedding coordinator Megan was incredible, her professionalism and patience were phenomenal. Nothing was a problem and the entire afternoon and evening ran so smoothly, despite some impressive weather and delays at the beginning. Megan and her team kept us all calm and dry! and allowed us and our guests to relax and enjoy every minute. The venue was magical and we are thrilled that we chose Mandoon for our special day. The food and wine was phenomenal. We had to fight our kids who were trying to steal our portions of the canapes that were held aside for us. The portions for the entree and mains were much bigger than we anticipated and they were all incredible. The service was impeccable and the staff should be commended on their skills and hospitality shown to us and our guests. All of our guests had an amazing time and made comments throughout the night and afterwards, complementing how good the food, wine and service was and we could not agree more.

Mandoon is a lovely place to visit. You choose between three venues, love their gardens. Beef brisket burger was exceptional, potatoes pizza could do with some more herbs

Love this spot, there are a few eatery options, great drinks, and a great play and wander space for kids. A fantastic place for a nice day/time out away from the city.

The ceremony lawn is beautiful, with white and red rose bushes on each side and a jacaranda tree above the lawn that blooms in spring. The reception room is spaced nicely with great facilities and the option to have some beautiful fairy lights installed above the dancefloor. The hospitality was fantastic too, with food and beverage packages and pre-dinner canapes to order for guests, a complimentary room at Mandoon's Maya Maya accommodation the night of the wedding, and any furniture, cutlery and table clothes were provided. Such an amazing venue - we highly recommend having your wedding here!

Had a lovely wine and cheese board tasting, very well presented and attentive staff.

Fantastic overall experience. Wonderful location with excellent service. The food lived up to everything. In particular, the venison tartare was one of the best tartare I ever had. The lamb main was also good, but not as great as the venison. Finished by trying three cheeses, they were also excellent. Obviously a great selection of Mandoon wines, but the one I had was orders of magnitude better than anything in the cellar room.

Dropped in early (9am) for a quite brunch. Whilst we didn't get to enjoy the dynamic atmosphere of the usually busy bar/bistro area, it was very pleasant to look over the pristine vineyards with only a few other dinner around. The breakfast menu is VERY small but done well and the coffees were great. Prices were in line with upmarket dinning establishments Overall it's worth checking out for an intimate relaxing start to your weekend.

Hmmmmm verged on 3 and 4 stars for this one. I had heard a lot of good things about Mandoon Estate. Headed there with some family here from overseas, to show them the Swan Valley and a quintessential Australian winery/brewery. There was no parking left in the car park, so everyone was parking along the road leading to the main road. We were there on a Saturday and the place was insanely packed. We had to hustle, and watch out for a table then jump on it as soon as one become available (our glares were probably not overly appreciated by those diners lingering over their finished lunches), then when we got that table, we kept an eye out for a bigger table that would fit everyone. The staff don't take any bookings for tables in person, so it's up to you to find something for yourself. Sounds easy, as this is the policy for a lot of venues, but the venue (on a rainy April Saturday) was rammed and very noisy. This place is VERY family friendly, take from that what you will. By the time we got a table I already felt the laid back Saturday lunch vibe had been a little bit ruined by desperately trying to get a table. You have to order at the counter and the line was long. The food came out reasonably quickly and was delicious. Perhaps when the new opening buzz of this venue runs out it will be a quieter and more enjoyable experience. But when we went it was manic, and though it's a nice looking venue with great food, they probably need to put in a better process for getting a table and ordering food.

We had a 7 course degustation with matching wines for lunch in the restaurant. The dishes were nice but not outstanding. I was still hungry afterwards and I know degustations are small servings but have done many degustations and have never left feeling like I needed more food. Disappointing for $170 pp. Service was good, they bought out each dish and explained it thoroughly. Wines paired nicely with each meal, the reserve sparking was a favourite. The honey comb dessert was creative and refreshing. Mandoon is one if my favourite wineries in Swan Valley, the menu from the brewery is value for money, the prices are reasonable, the serving sizes are decent, the food is great! Not a fan of the beer garden food, very basic and I don't feel it is value for money, servings are are small in comparison to what you can get from the brewery. Lovely area to have a picnic on a glorious day.

Had very enjoyable mid with lunch here for my birthday. We decided to have mid-week special, entree & main with matching wines for $60 (with shared dessert). Great deal! The food and wine were really nice.. I had beetroot cured ocean trout for entree; for main: lamb loin and dessert: strawberry, white chocolate, sparking sorbet. Loved the food presentation. Great experience all around, will definitely go back here again.

This restaurant joint brewery and vineyard has been open for a few weeks. No teething problems here. Amazing food! Superb views! Fine dining ambiance ... No other words. A must try! The French chef has skills! Impeccable presentation of dishes. The brewery is separate and it's very kid friendly. If you decide to dine in the restaurant, Remember to reserve a table by the window or fireplace :)

Well there is so much to say about the fitout and location of this place - absolutely gorgeous!! You forget you're in Caversham and feel like you're in Margaret River with the beautiful view of the vines and the huge deck in the sun. We came for breakfast and it really delivered. A great variety of dishes and I was able to order my favourite smashed avocado, feta and roasted tomato on sourdough with a side of hash brown. Amazing. Delicious and fresh and the perfect size so I wasn't over full, and only $12! Next time I'm having a poached egg on top because my girlfriends poached eggs looked perfectly runny. I also had the cloudy Apple juice which was nice and fresh but $7.50 for a medium sized glass. The biggest downfall was the coffee, it was nice but for $6 for a soy mocha in a tiny glass was disappointing. But that was the only flaw. The service was also great. I'll definitely be coming back for a lunch and beer or wine in their beautiful beer garden with picnic tables and blankets - the perfect summer spot!

Mandoon is always great. Today it didn't disappoint. The staff are always lovely and attentive. My friend and I both had the Pulled Pork Sliders and the Chocolate Tart. The Pulled Pork Slider was Delicious!! The coleslaw made it even better. The Sparkling wine really topped off the whole meal. It was a lovely day and just a lovely feel to the whole experience. Its always relaxed there, a great place to chill, have a drink and feed. The Tart was a tad rich but only because it was a little bit long.... Maybe half of the length would have been perfect. Overall fantastic as always! Thankyou Mandoon . I would definately go back and recommend to family and friends.

Great venue. Nice food. Nice wine. However the staff seem to have an attitude that isn't very friendly. Not sure why hospitality workers feel that they need to project superiority and arrogance toward paying customers. I will definitely be back as the venue is superb and very relaxing. Lots of different areas to try and experience. This would have been a 5 star review except for the staff. Change the attitude and you will have a winner all round.

Second visit here to the front veranda overlooking the grapevines. First time was a 4 this time was a 3. Both times the food was good but the second time the service was... well... we felt it was really hard to get out waiter's attention despite being not busy at all. Half an hour after dinner was over we wanted a desert menu but couldn't get one so paid and left - and we had mentioned we wanted desert in the beginning. Really feel this drops the place from 4 to 3.5 stars. I think what's missing is a restaurant flow with the staff and regular check ins. And don't spend too long talking to people at a table without taking a look around. We felt really awkward unless we are meant to walk up interrupt others and ask for stuff.

This is definitely a happening place to visit in the Swan Valley. It was quite busy on the overcast day we visited but the waiter assured me that it was nothing compared to bright, sunny days when it gets jam packed. We dined on the brewery side and I was really impressed with the food. I ordered the swordfish and it was excellent and beautifully cooked. I did have major food envy though of all those on my table who ordered the wagyu burger. It looked spectacular and my husband relinquished one bite for me and it tasted as good as it looked. I will be going back for the burger alone! It's definitely a place you can take little people as they have play areas and plenty of room for them to run around.

Well back there again love the place had burger friends order the fish chips one order kids size which was nearly same as adult meal all meals came out together excellent service waitress on ball with food and drinks as always busy place no split billing loads parking and lots going on from wine tastings checking art gallery great for picnics family get togethers and formal functions

Today we went to Mandoon Estate and was completely blown away from how many people was here,not hectic and different areas to dine. The food and service that we experienced was second to none and price for the area we ate was reasonable.Highly recommend to eat here and experience the great atmosphere. Saw a burger come out after I had my meal,it looked delicious will definitely go back to have one.

We came on our boat and didn't know what to expect. I had booked the restaurant online for Sunday lunch. Lovely restaurant, friendly and professional staff. The menu is small and delicious. The mains of duck, the dry aged beef and sous vide chicken were absolutely wonderful. The desserts were lovely and the cheese selection above average -I had a hard ewes milk from Spain and a hard goats cheese from Holland. The other dining options cater for everyone right to a picnic style outdoor area with live music and pizza. The Mandoon Chardonnay I tried was elegant and there is a great selection of their own beers and wines. I would definitely come again.

WE visited Mandoon Estate restaurant with some friends on Wednesday 14th June 2017 This is our second visit & was as good as the first. It is fine dinning at its best The service & the welcome .There where a few dinning but there was no delay in the food coming out .The lamb. the Venison & dessert where to die for all very well presented . Now when our we going back. Loved it

Saturday afternoon at Mandoon for a friend's birthday was just "meh". Overpriced food and drinks with poor service to boot. Tasteless Mussels, crappy Sun cocktail @$18...wont be back. If you can't handle crowds then don't seat too many!

Great little spot.. Caters for all! Great value breakfasts starting from $5 for fruit salad. Pancakes for kids only $8 are huge!! Great coffee.. Open for breakfast lunch and dinner.. Has classy function rooms.. Has its own beer from the brewery along with some fantastic wines.. Amazing beer garden with kids play equipment.. Beer garden serves pizza, spit roast and other snacks. Plenty of room for the kids to run around. Could rave on about this spot for ages, but it's best you come and check it out for yourself !

Mandoon Estate in the Swan Valley consists of a brewery, the Linton and Kay art gallery and a cellar door and restaurant. There are a lot of things for the family too, with a big playground and beautifully mowed lawns to hang out in the sun. But on this particular cloudy day I caught up with some friends to dine at their restaurant. The space at Mandoon restaurant is opulent. It has a stunning ceiling to floor windows overlooking their vineyards, lawns and gardens. The ambiance is one of elegance and sophistication, so definitely a place where you go for a date or for a special occasion. Their menu consists of a 5 or 7 course degustation (5 courses $110 without wines $130 with wines, 7 courses $140 without wines $170 with wines), or for those who doesn't want to have that many courses, you can go a la carte. We opted for their a la carte with 2 bottles of beautiful red wine, their 2012 Old Vine Grenache and 2013 Carbernet Merlot. The Grenache being lighter and so easy to drink, while the Carbernet Merlot was richer and more vibrant on the palate. In terms of the restaurant it is pricey and the dishes are a little bit small in portion. But having said that the dishes are balanced in texture and flavours and were cooked perfectly. Their wine list is also very well done, but then I wouldn't expect anything less from an estate like Mandoon. I think Mandoon Estate Restaurant is worth going for a special occasion and expect to spend a bit. oh and expect not to have parking!!

A beautiful winery for sure. Only disappointment was ordering the same wine outside with pizza was more money than inside the winery. Understandable if it was table service, however was not, so prices should be the same.

I'm going to be a little dark about Mandoon. Stunning surroundings. Very corporate feel. A little too organized. Which will make for order and the majority of people will not be offended by Mandoon. It is an aesthetically pleasing place. I would have loved to be blown away by the lamb spit lunch in the garden and not blown away by the distorted music blaring from the 2 overworked speakers hanging from the side of the deli. The lamb spit bun lunch, dry bun, stringy lamb, stinjy gravy, limp salad... left my jaw aching from trying to chew through it. We left halfway through our bun and went to the Duckstein to get some real swan valley culture. I'm not adversed to new things, Infact I love exploring new places. This just left us feeling too perfect and yet the main attraction in the garden, the lamb spit....let down.

Beautiful setting, lousy food & arrogant wait staff. What could be a great place to take vistors to WA for a touch of the Margaret River vibe in such a beautiful grounds & buildings is let down by the the food & terrible service. We booked 2 weeks prior in person & specifically asked for a table away from the windows & near the fire as a winters night it was bound to be cold out. We arrived to find that the restaurant was predominately empty but we could not be seated at our preferred table with no apology, put by the window by the open doorway, it was freezing. I had Croquette' entre, what a let down 4 squares of overcooked meatballs rolled in breadcumbs, that was as hard as rocks served with 1 dessert spoon size serving of sauce. No flavour to what the Croquette filling was, this is still a mystery to me. This arrived 10 minutes after my companions had started eating, when the staff were reminded that I had not got my order, the response was 'I know'. It was evident the Croquette's had been forgotten in the fryer & they thought it better to put something on a plate. The food was dumped in front of me with no apology for the delay. Others at my table had Blackened Chicken with chimichurri, corn salsa. There was nothing moist in the meal, just half a chicken with a dry salad with no dressing. Good thing they sell drinks because you need it to get the food down! Do yourself a favour, give this place a miss.

Great lunch had in the dinning room amazing staff and great flavours we will be back. We had a group of ten and food came out perfectly and on time

Great place - wonderful food, great service, great setting. Definitely will be back! Jana was our waitresses who was lovely beers and wines are delicious. You could really forget your in the swan valley and could be anywhere modern, sophisticated and classy. Will be back for sure!

Excellent venue - 3 eating areas to choose from - family friendly, beautiful food and great cider!

Okay. It's ultra modern and we headed straight for the bar with food although we had a peek in the table-clothed restaurant. Some striking works of art but quite minimalist. I tasted the most unusual soft drink here - the name escapes me. Green and seaweedy in colour with a lime/vegetable taste but refreshing on a hot day nonetheless. Wagyu Burger and chips delicious although the food Richard ordered consisted of five measly meatballs in sauce. There is a non-smoking onsite rule although we had a crafty fag behind the tree and judging by the butts on the ground we were not the only ones. All these pretentious wine drinkers and a puritanical attitude to tobacco - how smug. A bit too modern for me. Three stars Okay. One gets quite a good view of the aircraft landing at Perth Airport from this vineyard.

I had the glutton free mushroom prizes and normal I hate to eat out it was fantastic best I've ever had

A frequent visitor of the Mandoon Estates beer garden, my second lunch visit to their more formal (but not to be mistaken with snooty) restaurant did not disappoint. Went for 5 courses with matched wines - amazingly creative and visual dishes, well balanced, well paired, and bar 1 dish which was slightly over cooked, everything was perfect. What makes this place even better is the professional yet super friendly and engaging staff, from waitstaff to manager. Very fitting for a Swan Valley setting. Seriously good food, wonderful staff, beautiful setting... What more could one ask for?

Thank you, Mandoon Restaurant (referring to the restaurant, not the Homestead Brewery) we had a five star lunch there today with excellent setting, superb food and great staff. An amazing place if you are looking for added class and a unique dining experience. Thanks again - will definitely return

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE. If you have kids, or you just wants some freaken air with your beer, it's brilliant. Would like to see a bit more option for eating outside down the back. Everything I have had in the restaurant has been great though. We've been going since just after it opened and its always been a great experience. Looking forward to some more summer Sunday's.

Went here today, the cellar door wine tasting was great, they had a complimentary menu to select 6 tastings from or a Reserve menu where tastings were $2 ea. the staff serving was knowledgeable and friendly. The whole complex is really well laid out.

Having just arrived home from Mornington Peninsula and visiting a lot of wineries, we were so glad to find this on our doorstep (25 mins from home). Mandoon Estate and Homestead Brewery really have something for everyone. Whether it be wine tastings, a brewery experience, outdoor picnic (can purchase from onsite Delicatessen), or a multi course degustation menu. Absolutely love what they've done here, and the Reserve Chardonnay and Shiraz were excellent.

We headed along to Mandoon Estate Restaurant for the 5 course degustation last week. Each course was delicious, and the 5 courses were accompanied by 2 amuse bouches and a petite forte, in the end this meant that we had four sweet dishes and four savoury dishes, which was a bit too much sweetness for me. The biggest issue was with the service. The waiter would approach the table and stand mutely without asking us anything until we made a statement; he also didn't make any attempt to explain the menu which led to some confusion. We chose to have the wine accompaniments and asked if there would be too much alcohol for the driver. We were told each sample was 90 ml (as opposed to 150 for a full glass) and that five serves would probably be too mush. This turned out not to be an issue as we got the smallest portions of wine - essentially equivalent to the free taster you would get in the cellar. One serve was only two sips. The young woman serving the wine clearly had no idea about wine; when I asked what grapes were in the sparking white she had to go ask the bar staff and when she returned she said "Semillon - does that mean anything to you?". It's a pity that the service did not match the beautiful food and the surrounds.

The food was extremely average and was not worth the money that they charge. Service was fine before the manager was unreasonable when we approached with entertainment book incentive for the full bill. We would have gone here without the entertainment book so was very disappointed that they didn't apply by the rules

very new and modern brewery/vineyard the surrounds were beautiful, the wine tasting we did was fantastic the staff were great and friendly and the food was top notch will definitely be coming back here.
