Levantine Hill

Levantine Hill is a Coldstream winery known for architectural cellar door spaces, considered wine tastings and dining that looks across the vines.

Set on Maroondah Highway in Coldstream, Levantine Hill brings together estate-grown wine, vineyard views and a slower style of Yarra Valley dining. It is a good addition to a wine-focused stay at Yarra Valley Lodge, especially for guests who want to spend more time in one place rather than moving quickly between cellar doors.

Why visit Levantine Hill

Levantine Hill suits guests who enjoy wine experiences with a little more structure. The cellar door offers guided wine flights, with a wine expert taking guests through selected Levantine Hill wines. For those wanting a more detailed experience, the Inner Circle Room and behind-the-scenes winemaking experiences offer a deeper look at the estate, its winery and its underground barrel store.

The restaurant adds another reason to stay longer, with Mediterranean-inspired dining, local produce and wine pairings shaped around Levantine Hill’s estate and Family Paddock wines. For couples, it can be a long lunch or afternoon tasting. For small groups, it works well as one of the more considered stops on a Yarra Valley winery itinerary. For international travellers, it offers a polished introduction to Victoria’s cool-climate wine region, within easy reach of Melbourne and close to other Coldstream and Yering cellar doors.

How to get there

Levantine Hill is located at 882 Maroondah Highway, Coldstream. From Yarra Valley Lodge, allow approximately 25 to 30 minutes by car, depending on traffic and the route taken. Driving is the simplest option from the Lodge, particularly if you are planning a tasting, lunch or a full afternoon in the Coldstream area. The route also works well if you are pairing Levantine Hill with nearby wineries, galleries or local produce stops before returning to the estate.

Make it part of your stay

We recommend visiting Levantine Hill when you want a slower, more considered wine day. Start with a relaxed morning at Yarra Valley Lodge, take the drive through Coldstream for a tasting or lunch, then return to the Lodge for time on the estate, a drink at Lodge Bar or a quiet evening in your room overlooking the gardens or fairways.
