Pomonal Estate

Top choice in Victoria


Whatever your tipple, this popular winery, microbrewery and cider producer has you covered. It boasts a fantastic location within an architecturally designed space looking out to pastoral surrounds and a Grampians backdrop. It's still developing its vineyards, but all its wines are created using locally sourced grapes, and it does excellent craft beers and ciders. The food's good too, including tasty local-lamb burgers.

Its contemporary villas (doubles from $330) make for a lovely escape, with modern, comfy interiors from which to enjoy the views; rates include a complimentary bottle of wine and a heap of local produce. Other, more inexpensive rooms are in the works.
