Operated by Nazaaray Estate · Flinders, Victoria
Located on the southern tip of Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, Nazaaray Estate offers an unconventional cellar door experience that merges regional winemaking with bold Indian fusion flavors. This working winery isn’t just about tasting wine—it’s a two-hour invitation to savor current-release varietals alongside vibrant dishes like Chicken Tikka, Seekh Kebab, and the uniquely Aussie Amritsari Fish & Chips. With each sip and bite, guests encounter a rich layering of taste—where the cool climate fruitiness of the wines meets the aromatic spices of the subcontinent in a setting that feels both relaxed and exclusive.
Flinders, the estate’s home, is a quiet coastal town perched on rolling green hills that slope toward rugged shorelines and bushland reserves. The vineyard’s terroir, shaped by volcanic soils and ocean-influenced climate, supports a range of grapes that highlight freshness and subtle complexity. Nazaaray’s wines offer crisp whites and elegant reds carefully crafted to complement their fusion plates.
The estate itself rejects the formalities of a restaurant, focusing instead on the intimacy of wine tasting paired with thoughtfully prepared small plates available midday. Each visit is variable—the menu changes weekly, ensuring that frequent visitors keep discovering new resonances of taste. This blend of wine and Indian-inspired fare is rare in the peninsula’s wine scene and appeals to gourmands looking for novel culinary pairings beyond traditional cheese and charcuterie.
Nazaaray Estate’s approach celebrates the peninsula not just as a top wine region but as a growing destination for food innovation. Whether visiting as a day trip from Melbourne or staying in local Flinders accommodations, guests leave with a memorable impression of cultural crossover, fueled by genuine craftsmanship and scenic landscape views that embody the layered character of this dynamic corner of Australia.
