Steels Gate Wines

We really enjoyed our lunch at Steels Gate cellar door on Sunday, Owners Matt and Brad are amazing hosts that greet with a warm welcome and amazing wine! Our food (Pork tacos) was delicious and beautifully presented. Even on a cloudy day the views from the cellar door are both breathtaking and relaxing! Thank you for a wonderful Sunday!

One of the best small vineyards/ wineries in the Yarra Valley. The lunch, wine and service was amazing. Highly recommend this place!

Had lunch here two days ago. The food was amazing and the setting is spectacular. We shared the tasting platter, which I would definitely recommend, followed by individual mains - everyone’s meal was perfect.
The Blanc de Blanc and Pinot Noir wines with our lunch were great.
Thanks Brad (and the chef) for a fantastic lunch and experience. We will be back!

Incredible scenery and great wines! Lunch wasn’t great though, please do something about the Moussaka!:)

Very nice winery was lovely views! Very knowledgeable winemaker! Only gave 4 Stars however because none of the wines really suited my palate. However I'm sure there are others which really would like them.

My mum and dad have been coming here for years and it’s a favourite of theirs. It was my first time there and I loved it! The service was excellent and very friendly. Everyone really enjoyed their meals and the wine. We absolutely loved the wines and very much enjoyed doing a tasting with Brad, who was so kind and helpful. I know we will back for sure!

Came here for wine tasting with Sean, our guide, and it was the best wines we had that day. We loved the fact that they are switching to eco-friendly practices, and they also have a dining room where you can pair food with their wines.

Excellent cuisine at reasonable prices.and the wine's a good drop too! Gorgeous waiting staff.particularly the man who has an uncanny resemblance to Morgan Freeman.right down to his voice and charm! Love it here - will be back

Enjoyed a lovely lunch out at Shantell Restaurant yesterday with friends. Beautiful outlook across the vineyard and hills, even on an overcast and rainy day. The service was friendly, and the food delicious and beautifully presented. Enjoyed a lovely glass of wine from Shantell's own grown wine list.
Will definitely return.

We have been here for lunch numerous times and it has always been consistently wonderful. Beautiful fresh, tasty, modern food to cater for all tastes. A lovely treat!

Came to Shantell Vineyard with a group of 4 couples last minute on a Sunday afternoon. We made our way down to the Yarra Valley from Melbourne mid afternoon and made a lunch reservation on our way! With only 2 hours notice so we were so pleased that the restaurant were able so accommodate such a large booking with such short notice. Upon arriving the restaurant had beautiful natural lighting, gorgeous open plan dining area overlooking the vineyard. Upon being seated we were welcomed by Shan the Winemaker. The menu has a small selection of dishes. Great variety of choices and complimentary wines. Upon ordering we collectively felt uncomfortable with our waiter, she was a very elderly lady. She was so softly spoken that we were barely able to hear a word she was saying. Upon receiving our mains one of our diners tried to clarify if her ocean trout was well done as she had ordered. The softly spoken lady rudely replied with an unknowing "I hope so" and continued to serve the dish. Now we hoped so too as she is pregnant and cannot eat undercooked trout. After having to explain why she has had to request her dish well done the woman took the dish back to be redone. As grateful as we were for the dish to be redone, unfortunately the dish did not come back out until all 7 other dishes were finished. Would definitely return to Shantell winery for the food but the Service definitely let the business down.

Excellent food, wine and service from this small vineyard.
Small quiet restaurant with some of the best food in the Yarra Valley.
Excellent wines, made thoughtfully and carefully, and aged before release.
