A unique winery for romantic getaway in the Yarra Valley

For couples looking for a unique winery for romantic getaway in the Yarra Valley, the estate offers more than a traditional cellar door. Guests can begin with a private tasting, stroll through the grounds, enjoy lunch at Re’em Restaurant and finish the day watching sunset over the lake before walking back to one of the 16 lakeside suites.

The Cellar Door experience

Located within our winery building, the cellar door includes:

Guided tastings of Helen & Joey Estate wines
Views across the vineyards and ornamental lake
Access to museum releases and limited bottlings

Our knowledgeable team will guide you through the wines and share insights into the estate, the vineyard and the winemaking journey.

A working winery

Helen & Joey Estate operates as a genuine production winery. Our team processes grapes on site, ferments and matures wines in the barrel hall beneath the cellar door, and welcomes visitors into a working winery environment. Seasonal activities such as harvest, pruning and bottling form part of the estate experience rather than taking place behind closed doors.

More than a wine tasting

The estate brings together several experiences in one place:

Re’em Restaurant, awarded one hat by The Age Good Food Guide
Re’em boutique hotel with 16 lakeside suites
Vineyard walks and gardens around the ornamental lake
Business events and corporate retreats

This combination makes the property distinct from single purpose cellar doors in the region. →
