Enjoyed a fabulous weekday 'specials' lunch at this impressive Estate.
Very generous meal servings and such delicious food.
Staff were very friendly and attentive.
Lovely ambience with soft music playing. Will definitely visit again.

High Tea event

From the beginning we were a bit disappointed.

No welcome person or guidance to when we could get a welcome drink or go to our table, just left standing waiting. No signage or assistance

Then when we got to our table it's was sticky and dirty and water over some settings.

Then when we got out tier stands with food there was less food on each tier stand to others.

Then a pie served did not actually have any filling in it, this is when we decided to speak up about our disappointment to the manager.

She gave us more food to make the amounts correct for each guests and more pies.

She stated the tables are clean but disinfectant makes them sticky.

The service, set up and ambience was not great to be honest but we can not fault the tasty food and options.

Except.don't go expecting TEA at this High TEA. There is only English breakfast and only on request which I thought was disappointing for a High TEA. And not the best tea cups.could do better with this part.

The bubbles and wine was bottomless and nice.

Would not really recommend unless they do a take away High tea box.

I guess we wanted better from this event and venue.

First time at this one. When we arrived the table wasn't set like all the other tables so we had to take cutlery and napkins etc from the other tables that were set. Then we asked for salt and pepper twice and it never came. The third time it did.not good enough considering the prices we pay. The wine is ok but overpriced compared to other wines at the same price point. All the meals are sharing plates. Asked for the steak medium rare. It was not medium rare, almost well done. Great facility and loved the ambiance of the room but it might be a while before I come back. Oh and I LOVED the carrots. There is a lamb sharing thing like a sausage roll shape but it was horrendous. Do not order it!

This is one of the most accommodating venues that we've ever been to. We wanted a venue for an afternoon tea for an 80th birthday but several in the Geelong region wouldn't do this for us.
Kate went above & beyond to make it happen when this isn't the norm for their winery. This included providing the most beautiful hand made birthday cake. We can't thank them enough for how welcome they made us feel.
We'll be back for their winter warmer lunch & more. Thanks so much Kate & staff 11/10.

Wasn’t a winery lunch experience. Felt like I was at a cafe where I’ve had to chase waitress for service after sitting down for 20 mins. Mistakes with the order and felt rushed. Inexperienced waitresses that tried but in the end a birthday celebration that wasn’t great. Food was ok but other wineries much better. Beef was like a roast and chicken was cut like kfc style sizes.

Don’t recommend this place to others

Mt Duneed Estate is one of the best wedding venues you can find - a stunning barrel room, great food and awesome staff. It's always a pleasure performing here!

We had our wedding here in Dec 2022 and we still feel like part of the Mt Duneed family whenever we return. The service was amazing. The venue is STUNNING and you honestly don’t need to decorate it much as the design and decor are already beautiful. The wedding event team have you covered, so don’t second guess this place. It’s worth every cent!

To Christine, Keeley and the whole Mt Duneed team THANK YOU for everything you did in the lead up to our incredible wedding.

From the first enquiry right through to our wedding day you were faultless. Nothing was too big, or too much trouble and the execution on the day was seamless. The food, the wine, the staff, the venue - everything was perfect and our guests (& us) had the most incredible day and night.

If you're looking for a wedding venue that has it all then don't look past Mt Duneed Estate.

Thank you Mt Duneed Estate for the very bottom of our hearts.

Jess and Steve xx

My daughter had her wedding at this venue. We have been a few times for lunch and the food has always been fabulous and the wedding food was the same. Nothing is too much trouble and her wedding co ordinator Jess did an exceptional job. I cannot recommend this venue highly enough for anyone considering it for a wedding. The whole team knows exactly what they are doing and they do it well. My standards are high and they far exceeded even that. Well done to everyone but especially to Jess who is an absolute superstar.

A million stars if I could! We had our wedding here and the venue, the team, the food & wine, were all beyond amazing.
We first met with Christine and had a tour which she was ticking boxes we hadn't even realised we needed (not extra things, all included!). We then were assigned our wedding coordinator, Keeley, who is the loveliest, most attentive person ever! Nothing was too hard, too much, or too little - nothing was a hassle. She (and the team) made organising a wedding an absolute breeze - and fun! From suggested vendors to bringing in anything we wanted to make the day unique to us, it was all seamless and honestly, perfect.
One thing that Christine said when we first did the tour that stuck with me was that she wanted all of our guests to leave wanting to come back, and I can guarantee they all will.
Thank you Christine, Keeley, Jess (shout out), and the rest of the team for everything.

Unbelievable experience. My husband and I got married at Mount Duneed Estate and it was organised to perfection between September of 2022 and Jan of 2023. The team were amazing! In particular Chrissy & Keeley, they made our dream wedding come to life. Everything seemed possible with their help and guidance. Our guests adored the venue, raved on about the food and thought the olive grove where we had the ceremony was divine. They were such a delight to work with and made our day so enjoyable- always going the extra mile to make sure our needs were met! We couldn’t be happier and we highly recommend this venue for others to look into for their future wedding!

Look, it could have been ok, except. It was bucketing down, and there's no shelter, and the food van that I went to wasn't very good.
Then, the major problem was the insane LACK of logistics and coordination to get hundreds of wet, cold, tired people onto buses, to get back to our vehicles or to the train station. We were waiting for over 90 minutes to even be able to get onto something! NOT well organised at all, and has put a major dampener on our whole experience.: ' (

My wife and I attended Mt Duneed Estate with our two young children and were blown away by the kindness shown by the staff and owners. The food and wine were delicious. Highly recommend the pizza for kids plus the cauliflower and prawns from the small plates section for the adults.
Outside space very relaxing and perfect on a summers day.
Very accommodating environment. Thank you Mt Duneed Estate. Looking forward to our next visit! 10/10

Great venue for a day on the green until you want to go home. No traffic wardens an hour and a half to get out of the car park and a mad Max like scene to get anywhere. Completely ruins a great performance.

First time shooting here, and it was a very happy experience. Beautiful exterior and interior, making it very easy for us to capture very nice footage for the couple.
There is A LOT of space here. Will easily and comfortably fit a few hundred guests.
The couple were very happy the entire reception:)

We enjoyed a delicious family lunch with shared mains and 2 salads. The service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere was amazing with the wine barrels and vats. A must do if visiting the area. As we were.
