Mason Winery

Time to reflect on our Melbourne cup day lunch extravaganza at Masons on the deck. Great to see lovely long tables beautifully decorated and everyone attending taking the trouble to dress up accordingly. The 3 hour lunch started off with a lovely home made bread and creamed butter to share on the tables with bowls of cashew nibbles. A fresh local salad of heirloom tomatoes and on a bed of whipped goats cheese was delicious. The next course was an in house cured salmon that was mouth watering. Warm duck spring rolls followed with a dipping sauce and actually tasted like duck. And if you thought that was it a platter of large prawns was presented with a seafood sauce. Then the mains. The Chef is famous for his steak and well he excelled serving 57 patrons simulations with platters of beautifully cooked fillet steak with crispy potato’s. And just in case that was not enough there was a platter of perfectly cooked salmon fillets for the non meat eaters. A large TV set up on the deck took over as Centre stage for the main race. Once the excitement died down we were presented desert. Home cooked basque cheese cake with petit fours and coffee. Well done to Chef Chris, Anne and staff for the most memorable Melbourne cup day.

We stopped by for lunch recently and really enjoyed the food—especially the pasta dishes, which were excellent. That said, the service left something to be desired. The team didn’t come across as very welcoming, and at times it felt like they were more focused on getting things done quickly. The wine tasting was similar—while the setting was lovely, the experience felt rushed. It seemed like the staff member was eager to wrap things up rather than engage with us. Overall, it’s a stunning venue with great food, but a little more friendliness and attentiveness from the staff would take the experience to the next level.

We recently visited for lunch and the food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented and full of flavour. Unfortunately, the service and hospitality didn’t quite match the quality of the food. The staff didn’t seem particularly friendly, and at times we felt a bit like a burden rather than guests. The wine tasting experience was okay, but not especially engaging compared to other wineries we’ve visited. Overall, the venue is lovely and the food is outstanding, but a warmer and more attentive service would make the experience truly great.

The food is amazing! I’m usually very picky about western food, but the chef of this restaurant is absolutely the best ever. The wine tasting is right next to the restaurant and the wind breath along the beautiful view make the experience unforgettable.

We had the most lovely afternoon celebrating our patriarch’s 97th birthday. Food and wine was delicious and beautifully presented. We really appreciated the care and consideration the staff showed to the needs and comfort of of all of us, but especially to the most senior members of our party - even taking time out to capture some happy snaps for us. Thank you for making our special celebration so special.

What a absolute gem 🍷 We had a delightful lunch today at Mason Winery, the staff were attentive and polite and made us feel welcome and well looked after. The restaurant and cellar door overlooking some of the beautiful Tamborine Mountain rainforest 🌿 The chef has to be world class as the meals we shared were absolutely out of this world!!!!!!!, the Duck spring rolls and arancini were perfect entrees to share and for mains we had the Pork Belly and the Tasmanian Salmon, both dishes were beautifully presented, the perfect portion size and tasted heavenly 🥰 Major thanks to the Team at Mason Winery!

I cannot recommend Masons restaurant & winery highly enough. Four friends enjoyed a beautiful lunch. The service was warm, friendly & accommodating. We had booked for lunch, then detoured to the winery where we enjoyed generous sized tastings & purchased some lovely bottles of wine. Chris clearly knows his stuff! Well done to all… all 4 of us highly recommend a visit to Masons Restaurant & winery.

I was part of a group of five and all our meals were great, generous and tasty. I had the duck with duck fat potatoes and then chocolate brownie for dessert. It’s a great venue for weddings and events and has wine tasting too apparently.
