Enjoy a glass of wine, a delicious meal and views across steep grapevine covered slopes and natural bushlands, with only the sound of birds in the trees above you and soft soothing music to be heard.

In winter sit by the cosy log fire sipping a glass of wine while the mists swirl through the valley below.

"Lovely atmosphere, pleasant music playing, probably even nicer in daylight with the view. They had to be reminded we had ordered vegetables which then came when we'd almost finished. (We weren't charged for them.) The waiter did not check our drinks and passed our table three times before clearing our plates. We'd probably go again to see if we were just unlucky that night."

"The only problem was that Darlington Winery didn't seem to know anything about our booking." more reviews

Excellent venue. (Excellent - See my reviews (4) - September, 2007)

"Darlington Estate is enchanting, with an earthy, roughhewn feel and gorgeous views over a valley of vineyards and eucalypts, Chef Mitchell Cork constructs his dishes with flair and flavour smarts... Cork's exemplary cooking just keeps getting better. A great day in the almost-country."
