Absolutely fab stay at Balgownie, lots of thoughtful extras such as complimentary bottle of wine and chocolates, glass of bubbles for our Wedding anniversary. Food was delicious and well priced, wine also well priced. The rooms were stylish and very comfy beds. Mr and Mrs smith toiletries in the spacious bathrooms. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely loved our 3 night getaway to Balgownie Estate. it was needed. The rooms are spacious, beds comfortable, loved the coffee machine. Free wine tasting for guests was enjoyable, the wines were very nice. Enjoyed a perfectly cooked steak at the Restaurant. Highly recommend the delicious buffet breakfasts, so much lovely choice of hot/cold foods and beverages.

A wonderful ambience from check in to finish - enjoyed a delicious special event five course wine dinner in the Melba Room followed by sumptuous breakfast looking out at fabulous views. New room comfortable with tasteful decor including luxury bathroom. Wine tasting topped off the visit with knowledgeable staff in great venue. Car parking close to room for easy access. Highly recommended. Spa and pool on site.

We had an amazing night at the Balgownie estate winery . The rooms were super clean and smell amazing. The toilets were modern and room had a perfect lightening. Only one disappointing things was the room service we ordered. We were there on 12 September 2024 Thursday and ordered house made pasta and steak for room service . The pasta was good but the steak had too much salt on it. I could hardly eat and even the chips was served as if it was dipped on a salt Although the steak was cooked perfectly the salty steak was the first time i ever had anywhere. Apart from it everything was perfect experience. We will definitely return for the stay and might give the restaurant one more time .

2024 was my second visit to the dining experience at Balgownie Estate Yarra Valley "Yarra Valley Restaurant 1309". And once again, everything from the staff, service, food and location - was incredible and memorable. I first came to Balgownie in 2022 to celebrate my birthday with two friends. We made our way from Melbourne. To this day, I remember the delicious duck and petite fours served with a beautiful birthday message written on my plate. This year was no different. Upon arrival, our waitress greeted us with offering complimentary bubbly and water for the table for my guest and myself. We were thrilled! We were seated at a window and got to enjoy the wineries Autumn leaves and rolling hills. Our food was once against incredible and the detail for the birthday dessert - second to none. If you are looking for someplace to go where you will receive both incredible hospitality and delicious food, I 100% recommend checking out Balgownie Estate. It's worth the trip and experience. Photos are from 2022 and 2024.
