Tokar Estate is a boutique family owned vineyard and restaurant in the heart of the Yarra Valley. The restaurant’s modern Mediterranean inspired building was designed to both take in and enhance its incredible surroundings. It is the ideal location to soak up the beauty of the Yarra Valley, with sweeping views over the gardens and vineyards to the mountain ranges.

Stop by our restaurant for lunch and make sure you head over to our Cellar Door situated in our newly restored original barn. With its floor to ceiling glass doors, marble bar and stunning view over the vineyard it’s the perfect location to taste our award winning single vineyard wines.

The whole experience was memorable. The service was excellent and the food was unusual and well presented. Sitting under an umbrella out on the terrace looking out over the roses to acres of grapevines and the distant Yarra Ranges made me feel as if I was in Italy. Almost perfect!

Amazing food with great views over the estate. Bookings essential. Not a huge menu to select from but what they do they do well. There was a 10 % surcharge ( I think for a Sunday ) which was a surprise - I didn't see anything on the site when I booked ( I thought it was a pre - filled tip at first). Thoroughly recommend this place

Service was good, and food was good quality and tasty. However, the main came out first without the sides. Whilst the sides followed not long after, the potatoes were lukewarm! On another note, the bathrooms were unisex but they were clean and well presented. They appeared to take no note of our booking request for a table with a view as they placed us in a dark room inside on a really nice sunny day. Given this (and due to it being in the middle of a walkway) we asked to be moved outside and they accommodated. It is a place I would definitely go back to again.

Hi Caroline, Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a thorough review. We have passed your feedback onto the kitchen regarding timing of food arriving. We are glad you enjoyed all the food. We had a wedding in for the evening on the day of your reservation which unfortunately left us with a limited number of tables available inside. We're happy to hear the team accommodated and moved you outside to enjoy the sun. Thank you for your support of our small family business, we hope to have you dine with us again soon!

we decided on the shared menu which was nice , the steak needed a little bit more cooking but other than that was good

Beautiful views of the Yarra Valley. Fabulous food which started with complimentary freshly baked Sourdough with an amazing miso butter. The restaurant is a lovely dining experience. Outside the cellar door there is seating so you can enjoy the views. Very peaceful, calm and enjoyable.

Thank you Lisa for your lovely review. We appreciate the positive feedback and are so happy to hear you enjoyed your lunch in the restaurant as well as your time at the Cellar Door. We hope to have you join us again soon so you can enjoy more of our house made sourdough and miso butter.
