This is your chance to indulge in the very best of food and wine while spending a relaxing day in the Yarra Valley, just outside of Melbourne. You and your partner will begin your day with a wine tasting, relax with a spectacular three-course lunch and conclude with a bottle of wine to take home.
This experience is the ultimate two-in-one, the perfect combination of wine tasting and a decadent restaurant lunch as you relax in the surroundings of our renowned restaurant and winery.
Upon arrival you will enjoy a wine tasting in our magnificent cellar, which is set on our 150-acre vineyard. We are renowned for our wines and are currently producing wines from 20-year-old vines. Nestled in the trees, our cellar door is situated on a mezzanine floor, offering an uninterrupted view of our barrel hall, which is complemented by a warm open fire on cooler days.
Enjoy a guided wine tasting in the unique cellar door, were you will taste a selection of Helens Hill Wines. After 15-30 minute wine tasting you will wander up to the restaurant which is located on top of the hill. You will be able to relax and take in stunning view of the Yarra Valley while you enjoy your three-course meal, which is accompanied by a bottle of wine.
The menu is subject to change, although you can expect meals along the lines of
- Thai Calamari – Scored curls of calamari, fried and tossed with a lemongrass and sweetchilli sauce, served on a tat soi leaf salad
- Seafood Terrine – A warm salmon, Morton Bay bug meat and scallop terrine served with
a German potato salad, herbed cream fraiche, parsley pesto and crisp sour dough croutons
- Chocolate Trifle- Chocolate and pomegranate trifle served with praline flecked
crème fraiche and pomegranate sauce
Take your time to relax and fully enjoy your meal. The finer things in life should not be rushed. When you finish your meal you will be totally satisfied after being swept away with the spectacular taste sensation that all good food should provide. However your experience is not over yet. On conclusion of your dining experience you will be presented with a bottle of wine to take home.

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and already planning to return with friends.

The Winery was an experience you would recommend to anyone. Easy to find and easy access. A polite phone call the day before from them with last minute details was helpful. The Wine cellar tasting was great with lots of information available with the owner! ( who also works on the property.) The wine was good quality and enjoyable .The restaurant was first class, service impeccable and the food to die for! We will go again.

Thank you for such a fantastic day. From the wine tasting with Allan, the owner, in a great tasting room with an open fire and two homely dogs, to the picture perfect view from our table at Vines restaurant, what more could we ask for? The food was delicious as was the wine. The service perfect, a memorable day indeed.

We had a wonderful time. The venue was excellent, having the best view over the estate. Tasting the wine was a treat with great conversation and lovely wine at reasonable prices. When enjoying our lunch the staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was excellent and well presented with the use of local produce. We were given a choice of 2 bottles of wine, one with our meal and one to take home. We would highly recommend this RedBalloon experience.
