Yabby Lake

This summer stop off at Yabby Lake Vineyard on the Mornington Peninsula, just 50 minutes from Melbourne. With a focus on single vineyard wines, relaxed lunch menu, and single estate espresso by Market Lane.

The cellar door’s menu by Chef Simon West focuses on simple yet refined, seasonal fare such as local whiting or beautiful confit Aylesbury duck served with big bowls of local greens, a range of share plates such as house-made trout rillettes and beautiful local cheeses. An outdoor deck takes in the stunning views of the vineyard and beyond, and this summer a fabulous Bento Box menu is availble outside. The wine and food experience is complemented by an engaging collection of artworks – inside and out.

The light and welcoming cellar door space is a perfect spot for a convivial family lunch and features high recycled timber beams framing large expanses of glass that showcase the spectacular setting. A slick new tasting bar creates an intimate space for tasting at the end of the dining room. The warmth of the recycled timbers is complemented by industrial-style steel fixtures, polished concrete floors and a striking new central fireplace.
