Re’em Yarra Valley at Helen & Joey Estate - Restaurant, Hotel, Best Winery, Cellar Door

We recently dined at Re’em and had such a lovely experience overall. The property itself is stunning — surrounded by rolling vineyards and picture-perfect views, it’s definitely one of those places that instantly feels special. We tried their two-course menu, and both the presentation and flavours really stood out. The ingredients tasted fresh, and you could tell there was attention to detail in every dish. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It’s definitely a spot I’d recommend if you’re after a peaceful Yarra Valley lunch with a view — though it’s worth knowing that the menu leans more on the fine dining side, so expect smaller portions and premium pricing. Perfect for a special occasion or a relaxed weekend getaway. Follow IG- @biteandsightadventures for more detailed review

This luxe boutique hotel in Gruyere (Yarra Valley region) was a pleasant impromptu overnight stay (impulsively booked a couple days prior for a quiet weekend away). I believe I may have nabbed the last available room as there are only 16 guest rooms & believed I secured one of their 'standard' rooms as the fancier ones had already been snapped up. Well, I was surprised to find out their basic rooms were far from standard and definitely much nicer than most upgraded 4-5 star hotel rooms in any capital city, spacious open rain shower, Nespresso pod machine, free standing deep bathtub included. The rooms were spacious, unbelievably clean (I have an unshakable habit of inspecting nooks, corners, drains, signs of infestations and previous guest damage upon check in) and it was immaculate, however having said that this is a boutique hotel and freshly built in 2023. The grounds have a modern feel, there is a cellar door on the premises and a restaurant serving mod Asian cuisine, this establishment also looks set up for scenic weddings, with a beautiful lake swimming with a resident pelican and ducks and lush backdrop, which our room opened up to. Our room was located in the 'basement', sounds terrible but in reality, was perfect, the building is built in reverse as to make use of the hill it sits upon for maximum scenery intake for the top level, there was a stunning fishpond at the base of the stairwell of the basement with the cutest array of goldfish, ranging from petite babies to well fed fatties, whenever we stopped to admire them they would swim up to us eagerly, probably expecting food, utterly adorable. The vibe is relaxed, quiet, serene and modern, I loved the balance of welcoming but not intrusive professionalism of all staff. Check on and check out was extremely smooth and quick. We also received a complimentary voucher to redeem for a drink at the cellar door, but silly me, forgot about it, Breakfast is also complimentary, there is an a la carte menu of breakfast favorites with an Asian inspired twist such as scrambled eggs, poached eggs, fritters etc. also dumplings or congee and a small selection of pastries & juice you can help yourself to. I shouldn't complain but I would have loved if there was oat milk as an option for coffees (only soy & almond available). Loads of parking and close to other wineries such as St. Huberts, Chandon etc. Would love to come back again soon!

Re’em at Helen & Joey Estate is the perfect date night destination in the Yarra Valley. The setting is stunning — surrounded by rolling vineyards and a serene, modern atmosphere that makes the whole experience feel special from the moment you arrive. We had the two-course meal with cocktails and loved every bite. The chilli crab was rich and fragrant, the smoked aurum duck beautifully tender, and the fish cooked at 50°C was perfectly silky. Even the buckwheat gnocchi was a standout.

Beautiful location and the food was delicious. Booked a lunch at Re'em restaurant, very nice decor and overlooking the winery ground and beautiful lake/pound with the fountain. The food was Asian influenced which is rather unique to find in the winery restaurants. The service was excellent too, the staff were friendly and very attentive. A lovely experience overall. Highly recommended.

Absolutely adore this place! Stunning views, great wine, excellent service. My wife and I were served by a lovely waitress - Abbie I think her name was, and we were very happy with the level of service especially as it was my birthday on Sunday! She had a few things going on but seems to multi-task very well - something my wife wishes I could do! Will definitely be back, maybe during the week when it isn't as busy! P.S I have been told about the hotel rooms, and I think my next birthday trip will have to be in those rooms!!

Bravo Re’em! What a fabulous Sunday lunch the four of us had. The Asian fusion dishes were each beautifully presented as a work of art. We loved each dish, all creative and cleverly subtle, leaving us with no shortage of ingredient guesses. My personal favorite was a poached pear…. (will I ever be able to serve mine again after this new benchmark?) The service was friendly and informative. The 180 degree view over their Helen and Joey vineyard is a stunning background to the open, modern venue on a winter’s day. We won’t be waiting for a special occasion to return.

I held my 70th at Re'em for 16 guests and it was superb. The food on the menu is exquisite - beautifully presented and flavourful. Of course the wines were excellent. The restaurant itself is modern and classy, yet with a relaxed atmosphere that encouraged everyone to enjoy the day. The restaurant manager and all the staff were friendly and flexible in accommodating our group. They made us feel special and looked after all our requests. The most common comment from our guests was - Why haven't I heard of this place before? We have to come back.

Accommodation is amazing with sweeping views of a beautiful pond and vineyards. Generous sized rooms with beautiful cabinetry and plenty of storage for your stay. Gorgeous bathrooms to relax and enjoy a vino or two in the bath. Dinner however is definitely worth the value. Set menu and definitely did not disappoint. Wines are amazing. 11 stars out of 10 for a weekend away.
