Kellybrook Winery & Kelly Brothers Cider was established by the Kelly family in 1969, set in a secluded little valley, only 35 kilometres from Melbourne's city centre. The closest Yarra Valley winery to Melbourne. Kellybrook's rolling hills are a pretty backdrop to the vineyard and give a lovely rural feel. Kellybrook produces an extensive range of award-winning table wines and specialises in hand-disgorged sparkling wines, using the traditional French method. Exceptional apple and pear ciders are also made on the property, including the unique Champagne Cider, a favourite in the cellar door and the restaurant, and apple brandy, distilled in the tiny pot still. Tastings and sales are conducted by the winemakers in the winery daily, providing a very authentic experience. An ideal first or last stop when travelling to the Yarra Valley from Melbourne. The restaurant features a vine-covered terrace that overlooks the vineyard and gardens as well as polished timber floorboards and a roaring open fire in winter. A la carte, function and degustation menus offer seasonal and local produce, including some from the Kellybrook kitchen garden. Whether for a special dinner, a family celebration, or a gathering of friends, enjoy the relaxed and intimate atmosphere and friendly, attentive service. Enjoy a beautiful meal or linger over a platter and a glass of wine. Private functions including weddings, cocktail parties and corporate events are available. Romantic garden wedding ceremonies are held under the magnificent 120 year-old oak tree. Special events are held throughout the year. Keep an eye out for the Bastille Day Lunch, Kellybrook Cider Festival or the popular cidermaker's and winemaker's dinners.
