TarraWarra Yarra Valley Winery, Restaurant & Cellar Door — Restaurant in Melbourne

Hey there, there is a restaurant I decided to give you heads up that I had right now, My mother couldn’t sit on the chair in front of the entrance because it wasn’t comfortable for her, as she is elderly. So we decided to sit on an empty chair nearby while waiting for our table to be ready. One of the staff members approached us and started speaking to me very badly , even though I explained that we were just waiting for our table to be prepared. Then, with a very unpleasant tone, they made my mother stand up. She suffers from leg pain and had to walk back across the restaurant, which was very difficult for her. We were treated in a very disrespectful manner, and I truly did not expect such behavior towards a customer. I hope no other customers are treated this way, because this was neither humane nor respectful. I wish we hadn’t gone to this restaurant.

Hi, thank you for your response.

Unfortunately I can’t answer your respond so I added my response here.

Firstly, I’d like to remind you that in my review I mentioned I was waiting to take away my coffee with my 80-year-old mother. I didn’t have a booking and was just waiting to grab my coffee and leave.

The chairs in front of your restaurant are very uncomfortable for elderly people, so I simply moved my mother to a spot where we could wait for 5 minutes—or just until my coffee was ready. I had no intention of staying in the restaurant.

With the way we were treated—especially my elderly mother—we definitely wouldn’t have stayed anyway.

I had hoped you would read my review more carefully and show more care and respect for...

What an absolutely breathtaking experience. I booked the 4 course dinner at Tarrawarra Estate as a surprise for my boyfriend’s birthday, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. From start to finish, we were both just blown away by the service, the atmosphere, the building, the interiors and, of course, the food and wine!! The appetisers upon arrival, along with the focaccia, were both just divine. The trout consommé was so beautifully fresh and the perfect way to begin the amazing food journey that was to follow. We were both so amazed the richness and complexity of flavours in the mushroom cavatelli, but the highlight for us was the duck. You know a dish is perfect when you both sit in silence just enjoying it without needing any words. I absolutely loved the macadamia tart and my partner had the selection of cheeses which he thoroughly enjoyed. A beautiful touch was the gorgeous little birthday cake that was bought over at the end, which was such a lovely way to end an already superb evening. We were also lucky enough to have the head chef, Joel, come over to our table and speak with us which gave us the opportunity to thank him for creating such amazing food. To make it even more special, we were told that this was the first dinner they were hosting as the 4 courses, and we were one of the first to book. Thank you for such a magical evening and we hope you continue the 4 course dinners so that others can experience...

TarraWarra never fails to deliver. Beautiful grounds, great wines and an Art Gallery - what more could you want? I couldn't think of a better place to take visitors to Melbourne. You can choose your own adventure - high end dining, relaxed snacks, wine tasting, art gallery or just taking in the views.

It was our first time eating in the restaurant and it lived up to the hype and hat. It's a multi course set menu and I chose the paired drinks menu which was worth it. Vegetarians are well catered for and there was a bit of flexibility/options where there were also vegetarian dishes on the main menu. Each dish was a delight, beautifully presented and tasted delicious. The dishes were obviously thoughtfully put together and I loved the amazing mix of textures and flavours each bite delivered, especially the duck. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful.

If you're looking for something more relaxed, then the outdoor area under the peppercorn trees with it's beautiful views is the perfect place to sit, taste some wines and eat from the cellar menu. I didn't check the menu this visit but typically it's snacks or salads, great for a light lunch. We had a post lunch drink out here and soaked in the sun, views and the birds flitting around the trees.

Don't forget to check out the gallery. It does cost to see the exhibitions (there are some deals on a Wednesday) but they are usually...
