Just over an hour’s drive northwest of Melbourne, Gisborne Peak Winery offers a distinctive gathering spot where good company, wood-fired pizzas, and regional wines converge. Situated in the rolling hills of Victoria’s Macedon Ranges, this wine-focused escape presents a laid-back four-hour group package designed for social occasions like hen parties or girls' day outings. The experience unfolds in a smart casual setting that balances rustic charm and comfort, making it a go-to destination outside the city.
The venue’s standout feature is its intimate approach to group dining. Guests begin with sampler platters featuring local cheeses, cured meats, and warm Turkish bread, creating an inviting introduction to the regional palate. Following this, the kitchen fires up wood-fired pizzas baked to order, served alongside house-selected wines, beers, or soft drinks that pair seamlessly with the menu. This thoughtfully paced culinary journey offers plenty of opportunity to unwind, enjoy conversations, and take in the winery’s relaxed atmosphere.
Gisborne Peak Winery itself benefits from the Macedon Ranges’ cool climate terroir, known for producing vibrant chardonnay and shiraz grapes. Though the focus here leans on the social and culinary, the surrounding landscape adds natural beauty — tidy vineyards stretch toward gentle ridges lined with native eucalypts and seasonal wildflowers. The area’s climate, cooler and often wetter than metropolitan Melbourne, contributes to the distinct character of the wines and the lushness of the grounds.
This group package stands out by combining outdoor country charm with a refined dining experience, welcoming groups from 11 up to 50 guests with private or semi-private areas to suit. Guests appreciate not just the food and wine but the winery’s relaxed, inclusive vibe that encourages celebration without pretension. For those seeking a refined yet approachable way to spend an afternoon in the Macedon Ranges region, Gisborne Peak Winery offers a memorable, flavor-rich destination.
