Shadowfax Winery - Melbourne

Great location, friendly staff and good food. while on the expensive side for eating, the wine is very cheap and the recommendations on the menu well with eating. we sat outside and were attacked by very stubborn raups, fortunately it became a bit of a game with the 3yo to collect them and move to a tree, but they did some other tables. there is also a baptismal space in the inner, so there is no worry. overall very pleasant

Diverse range of wines and great vibes! Personal fav Minnow Rousanne.

5…4…3… We went here for an outdoor dining experience which was great during the summer: a sunny weather and cold breeze. Adjacent to the al fresco is the vineyard and a very nice lawn/garden and canopy of trees where the kids and families can have candid moments together. The male staff serving us was kind and knowledgeable to suggest to us some good food combinations from the wine, entree, and mains. The food is good though can be improved if they do some quality check before they serve them, as our steaks came out more rare than the medium rare we expected. We had to ask them to cook it a bit more. Their wood pizza tasted good and can be improved as they are not very generous with the toppings. The price of food is a bit more expensive compared to other venues but I guess it’s the ambiance you are paying for. I would have rated this 4-5 stars, unfortunately we were asked to leave earlier than expected in a more straightforward way even if the words “we politely ask you to leave” were uttered, because someone will be having a garden wedding, even if the garden wedding will be at the far end of the adjacent lawn from the al fresco where we were seated. We did not argue, but we did not appreciate that gesture even If we were very understanding and meek types of people. It would have been great if they (the people who was about to have their wedding or the management) paid a portion of our meals. I suggest they should tell their guests in advance to avoid uncomfortable and embarrassing situations like that from both ends. Most guests (like us) are not always from Melbourne, I suppose. I still hope that courtesy is not very scarce nowadays.

I can't believe I haven't eaten here sooner! This restaurant is fantastic for lunch - the food is delicious and clearly made with care and passion. The atmosphere is lovely and the staff are wonderful. I will definitely be returning! Thank you Shadowfax!
