Gracebrook Vineyards — Attraction in King Valley

Very relaxed atmosphere but unfortunately some areas for improvement are required: A lack of knowledge of some of the menu items was apparent with staff. An exception can be given for alcohol items (as the staff may have been under the legal drinking age), however the training in that circumstance would be to ask the manager. Same applies to food items Description of food on the menu was incomplete eg zucchini flowers not stating they were deep fry battered. In addition, some items were very oily (my partner became ill from this) The bread didn’t taste particularly fresh. Ideally it should come out warm and have that fresh-baked smell/taste, with a side of butter (that melts upon addition to the bread) Upon request for a wine tasting, closed body language from the staff member doing the samples. My partner ended up not doing a tasting as they felt uninvited to do so Overall underwhelmed by the quality of the food, despite affordable pricing. Would go for quality over cost in the context of a winery, which has the ability to provide a premium offering

A warm greeting was given by the welcoming staff member. They also initiated the table-service and were professional & knowledgeable. The wine was good and very affordable. It was unclear what the scenic selling-point was but the general atmosphere was pleasant.

On balance probably more fair to award 2-2.5 stars but will leave the current score in hope that some improvements will be made for...

After our visit to King River Estate, Ian recommended to go to Gracebrooke for some lunch, he was raving about how lovely the food was so we thought why not?

We parked up and walked in and we were able to get a table without booking, being the difficult couple we are, we asked for a table right by the vineyard as the view was absolutely stunning and the lady was more than accommodating.

We ordered drinks and food, the drinks came out first and food not too long after. I opted for the estate grown & made pork sausages w’ coleslaw and my partner got the roast duck leg w’ orange, fennel & king valley walnut salad.

The sausages were amazing! They tasted so damn good, seasoned to perfection and so did the tomato’s that came with them, they were sweet, salty and smoky it was sooo good, the only let down was the coleslaw, it just didn’t taste like coleslaw but just awful, none the less the rest was delicious. My partners duck leg was so tasty too! The duck was moist and cooked really well, seasoned very well, the salad was nice and fresh, it really complimented the duck well, her overall dish was superb. I would highly recommend popping in for some lunch as the food is delicious and the view is superb. I would rate...

I am speechless Everything about this place was amazing beyond words. I loved the friendly staff and the fact you can taste test their drinks before you settle on one or two or more. The place was beautiful and everywhere you looked I was in awe of the environment. We sat outside where we enjoyed the beautiful weather and thankfully their was shelter from the sun so it was blissful. The pricing of the food was amazing, portion size was perfect that we were very content and not hungry or too full after. The presentation of the food was absolutely to die for and I was amazed by the style of their iced coffees. We will defs make the travel back from Melbourne...
