If you like Australian and Italian cuisines, then this restaurant is worth checking out. Killara Estate Vineyard and Cellar Door is proud of nicely cooked antipasto, pizza and pizza salads. Try the good pinot grigio offered here.
The convenient location of this place makes it easy to reach even in rush hours. It's usually good to try something new, enjoying the spectacular ambiance.

The views are beautiful but the venue is tired and retro with wood paneling and a ‘70s vibe. If you’re considering a winery in the Yarra Valley there are many better options.
No tables indoors so offered a table outside near the fire place, however food went cold within minutes due to the winter like temperature in the outside seating area. Left over half a platter due to this which is a shame as we had raved about the food to our guests and it was a waste of money too.
When I went to pay the bill and spoke with the owner - Leo, was told "at least you got in" which is rather arrogant and appalling. No apology, no offering of a complimentary glass of wine (which would have cost him nothing!!!!
I understand it is difficult to get a table at times as it is a popular place for functions and to spend an afternoon sipping a glass of vino and a nice platter, however there are a vast number of vineyards in the Yarra Valley that deserve our patronage and money so will not be going back there in a hurry.
All they had to do was as a gesture of goodwill - offer a glass of complimentary vino to make up for the stuff up.
Oh and don't ask Leo the owner for a wine tasting if you are coming in for a meal in case you want to try it out before ordering - he gets quite "iffy" about it and gives you either quarter centimeter of wine or says no time as we have wine tasting groups that have come in. So much for promoting their vineyard and so much for service - extremely disappointed.
