Riverstone Winery is located just off the Maroondah Highway next to the Yarra River in Coldstream, RiverStone Estate produces quality wines and we are very partial to their desert wines. The Semillon Botrytis and Tokay are a real treat and here’s a tip right from the outset. Put a bottle of their Tokay in the freezer. Because of the high alcohol content it will not freeze but becomes a syrup that you can drizzle over your favourite desert. As Lola Berry would say, “Yumo!”
The Estate restaurant has a modern Australian menu with a focus on relaxed dining. Guests can choose from a range of appetisers and mains including the dinosaur T-bone steak, Venison, Barramundi or Kangaroo are just some of the choices. They have childrens meals and some of the most delicious cakes and deserts this side of the Black Spur. They also cater for weddings, parties, corporate functions and social clubs.
Tastings are free and you can sample their wines whilst enjoying an antipasto platter in front of one of the most spectacular views in the Yarra Valley.
Riverstone Estate has recently opened 4 rooms offering Bed & Breakfast, which is perfect if you are attending a function at the restaurant or would just like to stay and enjoy the peace of the Yarra Valley. Riverstone is just down the road from Rochford, so if you are planning to attend one of their outdoor concerts, Riverstone is a perfect place to spend the night.
Boy I love the picture of the cow!! Its pretty fat!!! I think that would make a good steak! Wow Dads drooling at the thought of it!!!! yum……..
This is one of the wineries I haven’t visited. Always wondered what it’s like thanks for the video. I am putting it in my diary for February.
Thanks for your comment Richard – we will be sending you a copy of HG Nelsons Guide to Good Food.
Seven for dinner, parents stayed overnight in the B&B for a special occassion. We made the best of the occassion and had a good night. But, sadly, overall we were disappointed.
4pm arrival for the B&B – room not ready!
Some guests enjoying the afternoon were well settled, yet the empty tables both indoors and outdoors were in desperate need of a good wipe down.
Breakfast provided was minimal, with jams and spreads well past their use by dates. Honey leaking over pantry shelf.
In its favour – beautiful views – lots of potential. However, attention to detail needs to be addressed.
Thanks for your feedback Lisa. We have passed on your comments to Riverstone Estate.
